I'm curious to know what Goat-exercise does? I've noticed it but I've never used it because I have no clue what it does.

It's a simple code example,
which shows how to do a simple GEGL thing (linear color inversion),
with a command in a menu.
"Goat" is a reference to GEGL having joking alternative meaning,
Genetically Engineered Goat Large and a correspondent five-legged semi-mascot.
It seems like it just does a linear color invert.

Thanks for explaining it, Wallace.

Sure thing.
:bigthup

I've never used this feature.
Perhaps others may have a better and more practical explanation,
of how it's used.
