[dev] Correct method for inter-application calls

[Diego Rivera]

Hello all!

I'm writing some integration stuff that may require interoperation
between Kronolith, Imp, Moment, Nag and Turba, and I'm wondering what
the correct mechanism to follow would be to call a function exported in
- say - IMP's api.php from a method within a Turba backend driver, or
within turba itself.

I'm reluctant to start doing includes and requires all over the place,
so if there's a horde-standard way of doing this I'd much prefer that
(a-la Horde::callAppApi('imp', '_api_call', arg1, arg2, ... , argN ) ).

I looked at Horde.php and horde's api.php in search of what I would be
needing (or something close) and came up empty except for listApis()
which I don't think is what I want.

Are there any special considerations I should be aware of?  Any pointers
as to existing code that already does this?

I don't want to be submitting patches (as I've done in the past) that -
although effective - don't fit into the framework.  saves us all a lot
of time.

Thanks for the pointers!

Best
