 Replying to [comment:90 peterwilsoncc]:
 > To prevent `malicious-plugin` from messing what's offerer to  `good-
 honest-plugins`, do we need to use PHP Reflections to limit filters
 running on the the plugin to the plugin itself. This is super complex I
 know but keep in mind the offered file can be changed from wp.org to
 malicious.org via filters. This is perhaps a topic for another time.
