The plug-in interface must remain API and ABI compatible to GIMP 2.0
so changing any of the existing functions is not an option.

The <Load> menu is a concept that isn't used in 2.2 any longer. Please
have a look at how file plug-ins register in GIMP 2.2. The new API is
backward compatible with the old one of course. But it doesn't really
make sense to look at the old APIs if we want to discuss further
enhancements.

There's nothing that keeps you from doing that. If you are looking for
an example, check out the SVG loader plug-in.
