 plugins_api() in plugin-install.php does not return by reference nor does
 it calls filters sothat they pass / return by reference.

 This violates against the PHP 4 compability guidelines in WP core. The
 effect ist, that clones of the objects are created which will leak memory.

 Related filters: 'plugins_api_args', 'plugins_api', 'plugins_api_result'.
