Comment(by dd32):

 > but I'm 99% you can check if $wp_query === $wp_the_query at that stage

 I can see how that will not work.

 Picture the plugin needing to apply to EVERY loop, Now picture it having
 to apply conditionally to every loop. Theres very little movement for
 conditional applications, you can mess with add/remove filters, but it
 becomes messy.

 There is at present, no global which you can access for the current
 WP_Query, Query_posts should be avoided at all costs IMO, and thats the
 only one which uses $wp_query, if you use WP_Query directly (As you have
 to do anyway for multiple loops) then you've got no way of knowing what
 query vars the current loop is using.
