Convert a selection into an array of coordinates/points

Hello,
I'd like to know if there's an option to convert a selection (like a selection done using the Fuzzy select tool) into an array of coordinates that comprise that selection.

You can use the Select>To Path option,
within the Selection Menu.

If you convert the selection into a path, the path is expressed as a set of cubic Bézier splines (aka "strokes"). There is an API call to interpolate these "strokes" with a polygon of specified accuracy.
