[Crash-utility] crash API?

[James Washer]

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
