I understand that this would be more convenient when declaring masters. And
i could provide a modified implementation for the plugin interface (e.g.
provide a master with the apropriate call to a macro at the declaration of
the slave plugin, rather a list of slaves at the declaration of a master
plugin). But the underlying structure would still be a list of slaves stored
at the master configuration. This is needed as it will provide faster
execution ( bear in mind that slaves seeking could be triggered by UI events
and should respond fast enough). Also the implementation for this is already
defined.
