Thomas this is great news! I think that part of the code base could benefit from being simpler and more extensible. Thanks for tackling this!

But it's still a pretty complex beast, and I don't feel like it's a good platform for people to add more transformations to. One option to improve this is to make a smaller extensible API, restricting the kind of things that third party code can do.
