 Hi,
 I just noticed something weird: The hello-dolly plugin which is included
 by default on wordpress installs is just added as hello.php in the plugins
 folder.
 This causes the get_plugins() call to return only hello.php as a plugin
 slug for this as it is not in a folder with the slug name like in the
 example over here:
 https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_plugins

 Can we maybe move the plugin into the folder hello-dolly by default so it
 behaves like a real plugin? I think there is no other way to get the slug
 without parsing the PluginURI field which I would like to avoid.

 Current output from get_plugins():

 {{{
     [hello.php] => Array
         (
             [Name] => Hello Dolly
             [PluginURI] => http://wordpress.org/plugins/hello-dolly/
             [Version] => 1.7.2
             [Description] => This is not just a plugin, it symbolizes the
 hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation summed up in two words sung
 most famously by Louis Armstrong: Hello, Dolly. When activated you will
 randomly see a lyric from <cite>Hello, Dolly</cite> in the upper right of
 your admin screen on every page.
             [Author] => Matt Mullenweg
             [AuthorURI] => http://ma.tt/
             [TextDomain] =>
             [DomainPath] =>
             [Network] =>
             [RequiresWP] =>
             [RequiresPHP] =>
             [Title] => Hello Dolly
             [AuthorName] => Matt Mullenweg
         )
 }}}

 This behaviour is present with 5.4 beta 1
