I think there need to be more programs allowing for mods, or plugins. I have created a simple script; it has a main function and then loops through the mods that are all loaded in a folder and runs them, but of course I am not that good and complex stuff n' things. So, I am opening the idea of something we need more of, customization. The 'OS'es that exist could have plugins and stuff, firewolf adds and more.
Here is my basic script:

modFolder = "/mods"
mods = {}
function main()
print("hello")
end
for k, v in pairs(fs.list(modFolder)) do
local f = fs.open(modFolder.."/"..v, "r")
if f then
mods[v] = loadstring(f.readAll())
end
f.close()
end
while true do
main()
for k, v in pairs(mods) do
mods[k]()
end
end

So you want more CC scripts to be more modular?

like this?
Here's a little program that lets you mod any program as long as you sort of install it;
To run it on this just put the line:
function run(mods)
in line 582
and the line:
end
function startup() end
after all of the code, then download this program:
http://pastebin.com/3e0Y0ShVfiddle with the settings so it works then run that program.
I haven't had time to test it, but it should work, to edit any other game to make it compatible with the mod basically just wrap the loop with a run(mods) function and wrap a part of the code in which important variables are set in startup() function
to make mods just make one function named "run" with one parameter "main" which is the program, so for this you could call
main.registerBlock( 333, "Rainbow", colors.pink, 33)
I made this a while ago, based off of how my "Navy" game's mods work
