Comment (by magnus78):

 Child plugins would indeed be nice, but it doesn't need to be either or.
 I'd see this patch more as a code fix than an actual feature...

 How would it break backwards compatibility?
 It's not doable without a patch afaikt. activated_plugin is run for every
 plugin not just *this* plugin like i want, i tried that first but ran into
 problems with plugins getting included multiple times (causing errors) and
 other strange problems.

 Re option_active_plugins - did you mean updating the active_plugins option
 manually? That won't let the registration hook for each plugin run.
