Sorry if this has been mentioned.
Don't worry, I don't recall anybody talking about it.
Nevertheless, plugins aren't unique to Rust: GCC and Clang
allow plugins. Nevertheless, I think that the Rust C++ plugin
you posted was cool. Reminds me of Rcpp.
Oh, it _is_ talked about a lot. Just normally called 'syntax
extensions' (the most used aspect of the plugin system), so it
_is_ used. Though because it relies on compiler internals
everything released as a plugin is only usable on Nightly.
