[Crash-utility] crash API?

I'm back with another wild question. There are often times I'd like to use crash more as a library than a utility. I've plaid with using "expect" routines, but find them rather clumsy. Has there ever been any discussion of a crash library or other API where I might have the niceties of crash with a clean interface... perhaps something along the lines of crash=crash::open(kernel,dump) crash->bt(pid) crash->rd(address, length) etc.. thanks - jim
