Heh. When I wrote the original plugin API (thought it can barely be called such), I didn't (and still don't) know anything about any other plugin systems at the source-code level; it was really just a little experiment I did that worked & I decided to submit the patch. My ego was sufficiently massaged when it was adopted for the add-on modules, and it was subsequently enhanced a little bit, but frankly I'm surprised it's survived this long without someone ripping it out and putting in a "real" plugin API, with a bit more bi-directional communication. The current implementation is only the barest level above "fork(); exec()" :=)
One of the first things I had implemented was a full blown plugin system. Isaac privately rejected it and I came to agree with him. KISS
