	No objections with the following constraints:

	- All plugins should be "opt-in".
	- No enabled plugins by default (to start with; subject to
	  careful review and discussion); no undiscussed and agreed upon
	  plugin enabling.
	- Any plugins enabled by default (in the future) should not be
	  used to stealthly circumvent current defaults or behavior.
	- It would be really nice to refactor existing scheme functionality
	  into plugins.
	- Plugin mechanism must be portable.
	- Initial focus should probably be on scheme-centric plugins;
	  native plugins can come later.
