 I believe that there should be a filter for the installed plugins list
 generated by the get_plugins() function within the validate_plugin()
 function.

 My reason is that a plugin I am creating uses it's own "modules" that are
 similar to plugins, or rather, plugins for a plugin. I could almost use
 the native WP plugin functions with the filters already there, except for
 getting the list of installed plugins, as my "modules" will be stored in a
 folder within the plugin folder.

 This one function inhibits the use of any of the native WP functions for
 this situation because it is used by validate_plugin() which is used by
 activate_plugin(). So, in my situation, I have to clone all these
 functions, just to add to the list of installed functions.

 This could all be avoided with a simple filter.
