Allowing extensions to communicate with Growl for desktop notifications

Hello,
This is a Feature request for future versions of Opera for Mac.

Currently Opera (v11.52) has Growl notifications for its built-in messages (like RSS Feed alerts, new emails, downloads, etc.).
But Opera doesn't allow extensions to communicate with Growl for desktop notifications.

I'd like to suggest that this feature be added so that it is possible for extensions to interact with Growl, so that we can get Desktop Notifications.


* To all those reading, kindly vote in the poll.

Do you want extensions to communicate with Growl for desktop notifications ?

Opera widget support notifications, use showNotification() method to show a notification and Chrome support a way to give a notification.

I am talking about extensions, not widgets.

Why only for mac? I want to have the native notification systems supported on all big platforms (which also should include notification-facilities for extensions and widgets): http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=292969
