 Even "simpler" to rename the plugins folder. The target users for this
 enhancement should be those who don't know how to edit `wp-config.php` or
 to rename a folder. There is no need to use FTP to run WordPress today,
 except when an unexpected fatal error occurs, perhaps after an update.
 Clicking on a "safety" bookmark or a URL in an email, is something they
 can do.

 I still think this can be implemented without being too complicated, still
 safe. A plugin may demonstrate. Case could rest until it's made. I can
 try.
