Are there plans to merge these?
If you want some input on how to improve it:
Allowing the combination of regexp+user-scripting
proved to be extremely flexible and powerfull
here. (e.g. split payment for taxes or insurances
according to the contracts/liabilities mentioned in
the freeform-text imported from the bank.)
I cannot help with such a task in C/C++ but
would be more then happy to provide feedback
from practical expecience.
