It would be nice if right along with smugmug.images.get there was something like smugmug.feed.get that would return the same set of data for the images in a feed that you can get for the images in a gallery.
Without that, if you want to support an operation on both a gallery and a feed (like recent images, popular photos, etc...), we're left to reimplement a lot of new code to request a feed, parse it, put the data into the same structure you had it in from smugmug.images.get and then figure out how to deal with data that isn't present in the feed. Sure would be nice if the API had some symmetry here and supported getting a list of images from a feed just like it supports getting a list of images from a gallery.
