agreed.

This can be brought about by keeping one single "plugin_names" set, and
then dedenting a big chunk of load_plugins().  Then the call to
find_module later on has to have the actual plugin path, rather than
[d].  I'll write a patch later, if nobody beats me to it.

       then they seem improbable, and then, when we
       summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
