 If you pass the name of a folder to get_plugins, it needs to have a
 leading slash which then stores the plugin list from that folder in
 {{{$wp_plugins['/folder-name']}}}.

 Secondly, the plugin file/path does not include folder-name passed to
 get_plugins, so the returned data has to have the {{{'folder-name/'}}}
 added to the key of each plugin's information before it can be used
 throughout WP. The code I'm currently using to work around the issue is

 {{{
                         $my_plugins = get_plugins( '/extra' );
                         $extra = array();
                         if( !empty( $my_plugins ) ) {
                                 foreach( $my_plugins as $k => $v )
                                         $extra['extra/' . $k] = $v;
                         }
 }}}
