My question was not what could be added to GIL, my question was what in
your opinion needs to _change_ in the GIL interfaces and design, if
anything. Adding new functionality in later versions of the library is
perfectly normal, and I foresee additions to the GIL core once the
algorithms are implemented.

Nothing you mentioned requires changes (the PixelAccessor issue is
discussed in another thread, and even for it we agree it is possible to
have adapters)
