ray-like text in gimp

[Ofnuts]

This definitely requires a script. In practice since it is all text some vector application like Inkscape would be better. But that would also likely require a script... Unless it is an available "effect" in some text processor (LibreOffice Writer/Impress, MS Word/Powerpoint).

In practice I have most of of the required code for Gimp in store, but is that urgent?
