Is it planned to have a dynlink mechanism for plugins ? Then, it would
be possible to override existing builtin commands from inside.
Another possibility would be to have aliases for builtins, and allow
to override their default names: for example, if I type "opam search
XXX", opam would first call "opam-search", and only if it does not
exist, call the builtin. Then "opam-search" would be able to call
"opam builtins search XXX" to access the builtin command with enhanced
parameters...
