I think current API lacks 4 very useful methods:

To list available object hashes for some criteria such as type, age, extra POW amount, some monotonous counter (like "rowid" from SQLite, possibly encrypted to hide internals from the API user).
To get an object by its hash.
To send a prepaired object. Current API has two similar methods, but they are undocumented and don't allow me to send objects of arbitrary type, only messages and public keys.
Like previous, but with already calculated POW.

Their absense prevents using Bitmessage as a base for different protocols and extensions.

I can code them and make a pull request.

using my fixes adding protocols and such is easier in --curses mode

I already made "menu 9" availbale for such ideas
