Comment(by nacin):

 Yea, I see what you're saying. I would like to see core showing the
 existence and filenames of drop-ins and mu plugins -- everything else is
 extra.

 To pair up plugins and drop-ins, I imagine core should look for identical
 headers. And to prevent a drop-in file sitting in wp-content/plugins from
 being read as a plugin, we could allow "Plugin Name" to also be "Drop-in
 Name". (Adding a header instead of replacing it would not prevent it from
 being read as a plugin, unless we modify other code which would then make
 the drop-in back incompat.)

 Thus, Memcached could continue to use typical plugin headers, while DB
 Cache Reloaded could include the plugin headers (with "Drop-in Name"
 instead of "Plugin Name") on the file that becomes object-cache.php
 without it being loaded as a plugin.
