I dont want to have an automatism which doeas all those roads. I thought of 
something like:
 - you mark a part of a dual carriage way in josm.
 - say make parallel in josm
 - josm then opens a pipe to the filter.
 - sends the marked segments to the filter
 - the filter resorts and aligns the segments
 - the filter sends it back via the pipe
 - josm replaces the segments in memory with the aligned ones
 - the user has to have a look at the result
 - if the result is ok and only if so
       - the user uploads the changes from josm to OSM

- This is how I'd see all those filters which i want to have inside josm.
