I would like to suggest a couple new methods for this peripheral.
importItems(side, type, maxcount) - Import up to maxcount items of a specific type from an inventory adjacent to the peripheral.
importAllItems(side) - Import all items from an inventory adjacent to the peripheral.
exportItems(side, type/id, maxcount) - Export items of a specific type or from an object (whichever is easier to implement) to an inventory adjacent to the peripheral.
These functions or something equivalent would allow for programmatic import/export of items from ME systems. This could currently be implemented using interfaces and turtles, but adding the functionality to this mod would remove the need to have a bunch of different turtles for exporting items.
If lag is a concern, you could rate-limit calls to the functions or limit the total number of itemstacks moved in a single tick.
