I filed this on github as a new feature request here:

That's what I was afraid of. Being able to implement novel "access patterns" to the top/bottom skins would be really useful for altering the physics of how the strands cool. Hopefully I can figure it out myself or convince a cura developer to implement the feature request 🙂

Cura is open source, but I'm not seeing an easy way to drop in and modify the available top/bottom patterns. I'd really like to be able to tell it to do an interlaced pattern that initially fills a top layer with separated strands, then fills in the gaps between the strands. This would solve the general cooling+curling problem that I observe with the "lines" pattern on the leading edge of some prints as it fills in a continuous layer.
Is there a way to do this via plug-in and not having to get too familiar with the Cura codebase itself?

here is a short video arguing in favor of an interlaced in-fill "lines" pattern for the top/bottom patterns, or a plug-in system for writing novel access patterns to filament lines that would get laid down continuously next to each other:
