Auditing Reforge Choices

[Klypto]

For addon authors out there I was wondering if you could answer a question I have:

I'm currently in the midst of trying to update an addon for myself so that I can have an easy check at gem / enchant choices as well as experience in raids and pugs. However, it donned on me that maybe there was a similar way to audit reforge choices on people's gear. I have very limited experience with LUA, and this is the first time I've ever actually tried to edit an addon for WoW, but in the hands of an experienced coder does this seem feasible?

To emphasize, I'd like a tool that basically checks if someone is making poor choices in reforging (Character X reforged out of spirit and into crit, highlight the item or something). Does this seem possible using an inspect-based addon, or would it only retrieve the item to the addon in it's base (non-reforged) state?

It retrieves it in its reforged state, however the reforging stats are encrypted within the item link.

Take a look at LibReforgingInfo-1.0.
