Comment (by scribu):

 > if a plugin developer wants to add or change functionality, he has to
 extend both WP_Image_Editor_GD and WP_Image_Editor_Imagick.

 You could avoid that duplication by creating a
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern decorator] that contains
 the image editor instance chosen by WP.

 However, that's not possible with the 'wp_image_editor_class' hook. We'd
 need something like 'wp_image_editor_instance' instead. Looking into it.
