Which is why I in an earlier mail suggested developing a GEGL file format that gimp could extend and use a subset of. By doing it this way, gegl would be the aforementioned file loading, and compositing library,.
But that seems like an EXTREMELY heavyweight library to incorporate into a project just for reading/writing files...
