It doesn't help that interfaces usually take the approach of offering
a VLM dialog to allow users to access the VLM to do whatever VLM stuff
they want, rather than offering a feature dialog that internally uses
the VLM as a back end for a specific purpose.

In fact this is more akin to a solution looking for a problem; and I
think that's exactly the contrary of what we should be doing with the
VLM.
