the point of this feature is providing the easy way that the
third-party or the experimental modules
plug into the existing ipset userspace binary without recompile.

You could build the experimental ipset "FOO" kernel module and build
the shared-lib of "FOO" userspace tool module and
plug into the system without recompile the ipset userspace tool at
all. It's inspired by iptables (kernel/userspace module).
