Yes, certainly. This could simply be seen as question of improving the integration with the Mac environment: it is natural for applications to provide AppleScript interfaces for important operations. When part of a larger AppleScript job, it would be more straightforward (and less errorprone) to call Emacs AppleScript interfaces than building a command line and launching an external process. Just wanted to know if anyone else already thought of this or even implemented it.
