Thank you for adding the patch.

For me, the default approach is that you do have a running gui while you
are exporting using the scripts. I don't mean scripting as a
command-line-only feature, rather as a plugin that works from both gui and
command line. So I wouldn't mix gui and exporter, it would cause much
confusion. Also an exporter might be interested in checking which gui is
running or even calling some simple gui functions (like the yes/no
dialog?), which would be impossible if we used gui instead of exporter.
