Well, I personally would like .tex integration in the core, but writing
new code in C++ does not imply that it be inside the kernel. One can have
a separate executable even named reLyX if one think it is cute. In the
future, the code can be integrated to the lyx kernel if people find it
useful. In this case, lyx could work with .lyx or .tex files, just
selecting the right parser, instead of parsing .tex, converting it to
.lyx, and parsing it againg. Seems much more sensible.
