Comment (by ChriCo):

 Wouldn't it be better, when we're talking about "Plugin A depends on
 Plugin B", to define something similar to the Script/Style API to define
 "depends_on"?

 Also, - just some throw ins to this topic - instead of introducing new
 (dynamic) hooks, which are hard to document and rely on, wouldn't it
 better to create some improved code with e.G. {{{Plugin_Registry}}},
 {{{Plugin_Configuration}}}, ...? This would also benefit by providing more
 information to the plugin bootstrap itself and maybe also moving the
 definition of plugin configuration data via docblock
 ({{{get_plugin_data}}}) to some more performant implementation.
