Okay, I concede that I may have been assuming too much. But I have been a programmer for longer than some people here have been breathing. I am right now a Windows and Mac developer, and have worked on award-winning Apple II games in the 80s. I program in the machine language of most major CPUs, in all major high-level languages and several more obscure ones (APL, SNOBOL, etc.) as well as the scripting languages of many applications (POCO, KeyScript, Microsoft Access BASIC, VersaForm XL's Pascal-like language, dBase/FoxPro, and numerous others). I have hand-coded my own Postscript fonts before there was any such thing as Fontographer, and hand-coded Postscript line art before there was any such thing as Illustrator. I have written utilities, applications, games, and even my own programming languages. So, in answer to your question "have you ever added a programming interface to any program?" the answer is simply, "yes, I have." I do know what it entails.
