 Replying to [comment:180 JohnPBloch]:
 > [https://github.com/composer/installers composer/installers] handles
 putting plugins into `wp-content/plugins`, themes into `wp-
 content/themes`, and mu-plugins into `wp-content/mu-plugins`, or any
 location one wishes to configure in the root `composer.json`. Any package
 may define its type as `wordpress-plugin|theme|mu-plugin` and it will get
 installed in the correct location and all autoloading will simply work as
 expected.

 That is correct, except getting the configuration correct in
 `composer.json` is far from trivial, especially when you want some plugins
 to be in `/plugins/` and others to be in `/mu-plugins/`.
