 Hi guys,

 we have awesome function register_theme_directory which makes registering
 additional theme directories very flexible and I think having the same
 (register_plugin_directory) for plugins is something we need so bad.

 I am aware of activate_plugin function but it's not flexible at all, at
 least not near register_theme_directory since only plugins located in the
 /plugins/ directory or /plugins/my-example-plugin/ can pass the validation
 (validate_plugin and get_plugins), otherwise it returns that plugin
 doesn't have good headers which is another confusion.

 Cheers!
 Marko
