It should be possible to adapt the GEGL infrastructure to handle this,
I've known of
the potential issue but haven't had the need for it myself; and it
might be a bit
tricky to implement. Patches are welcome; but will bu scrutinized.

I think a more important pad -related feature is allowing routing non
GeglBuffer data, like
color and scalar values, between the pads of nodes. The base core
infrastructure for doing
so is already in place, but the code hasn't been tested in a long
while and I think it
will fail in some subtle way.
