I guess there isn't a noticeable performance impact, because the iparser
plugin has to read and copy the data inside the ifiles, while runiscript
will not waste time on that...

Anyway, in some future we could replace bash with our own shell, so
we can provide the ibin commands as builtins.

I think they look similar to sysvinit scripts ;P.

No, but with this approach we could make a compatibility wrapper that
let you use old scripts without modifications.

And maybe other weird things... ;)
