Comment:

 I'm not sure of the benifit of this and in the end it is encouraging
 people to create plugins which depend explicitly on the behaviour of other
 plugins and make it harder for end-users to get things up and running.

 I much prefer the concept of graceful degradation - plugins that want to
 make use of other plugins should be written such that they work fine when
 those other plugins are not there but have enhanced functionality when
 they are.

 Marking as WONTFIX.
