Removing already loaded plug-ins at run-time is not really possible
(because loading a bundle can potentially add categories to existing
classes, will register classes and selectors with the obj-c run-time,
etc. and graceful cleanup is presently not AFAIK a feature of the obj-
c run-time).
But I agree that there should be some minimal infrastructure for
which plug-ins to enable, and potentially some lazy-loading of plug-
ins, e.g. based on certain events.
