But the essence of the hack is, that I want the the mechanism I described 'getFunction

the actual implemenation of 'getFunction' can vary.
What will the function return? and how is it supposed to work with taglibs? (so that both parameters as return values van be desinged with taglibs)
(my example is "my" forum function that adds thread info to a node list)
the list comes from taglibs and the result "the threaded message" must also be displayed with this.
My global feeling is that what you are proposing is a lot more then a hack and more time is needed to think about all this.
So for the moment: [X] -1 (NO), because : It's to importent and we need a longer discution.
Personally i don't agree with this, we only ask for the hooks for functions, but then we get alot of questions 'well how can we use them' so we provide examples
how they can be used but that will result in alot of open questions (the reason we didn't want the implementation as part of the vote in the first place).
again imho :
we are asking for hooks so we can define implementations for functions (on several layers and ways), this will allow us to ship _seperate_ implementations not part of
1.7.0 without hacking hooks in 1.7.0 each time. We want this so we don't have to change the taglibs midway in the 1.7.x releases. Fullblown functions/tools/ways can
then become stable and shopped in either a .x release of 1.7.x or in 1.8.0.
