 I'm working on an activity logging plugin and managed to use the
 'upgrader_process_complete' hook to detect when plugins are ''installed'',
 but while digging around core for a way to detect when plugins are
 ''deleted'', I realized that there was no existing, suitable hook.

 Now, there is an 'uninstall_'.$file hook - but that only allows targeting
 of a ''specific'' plugin... while I need to detect and identify any and
 all plugin deletions.

 I'm proposing the addition of the following hook in /wp-
 admin/includes/plugin.php, immediately after the 'uninstall_'.$file hook
 in uninstall_plugin()...

 {{{ do_action( 'uninstall_plugin', $plugin ); }}}
