====== Drupal 8: Plugin notes ======

Notes from yched's speech at the Paris core code spring 2012/04/28-29. Use with caution after 2012/05, fast moving code:

  * A "Plugin Type" is a class.
  * The list of existing plugins of a plugin type is enumerated using a Discovery class
  * PluginTypeFactory implements FactoryInterface
  * PluginTypeDiscovery implements DiscoveryInterface
  * PluginTypeMapper implements MapperInterface
  * DiscoveryInterface::getDefinition($plugin_id = 'textarea')
  * DiscoveryInterface::getDefinitions()
  * ?::createPluginInstance()
  * ?::getPluginInstance(array $options = array())  <- think service locator
  * $plugin->set(....)
