  Since the plugin mechanism uses the same API as all the existing
classes, it's trivial to set things up so a Class could be compiled into
the executable, or loaded dynamically. We'd probably add an option like
"--with-extensions=String,Math,Boolean" to specify what should get
linked in at compile time vs what gets loaded dynamically. Loading a
plugin is pretty fast though, as all I do is find the *_class_init
function and call it.
