So what are those things, and how will LADSPA2 get us to them?  I'm not 
looking for perfect foresight here, just some inspiring examples.

Just because one API is easier to extend than another, doesn't mean that 
it will necessarily happen easily or in a useful way (i.e. with 
consistent enough coverage from hosts or plugins to be really useful).  
The logarithmic hint discussion here is an example of that -- it's just 
about the most trivial thing that can be imagined as an application of 
an extensible API, yet it's ended up in a lengthy discussion with no 
consensus so far.
