Summary: KWin scripts should be able to subscribe to DBus
signals

SUMMARY
I would like to be able to subscribe to DBus signals from a KWin script, which
seems to not be something that is possible (last time I looked at least).
Alternatively, it could equally be accomplished by being able to create DBus
services from a script, either way would work.
As far as I can tell the current state is that it is hard to send any sort of
programmatic message to an installed KWin script.
The essential use case here is being able to invoke KWin actions from another
application. For example, a use for this would be to raise a window by PID
using a command line tool: you create a script which stays resident in KWin and
then you invoke a DBus service to send a message to the script when you want to
raise the window.
