That's an interesting idea... I wonder what others would think of 
allowing both? If we have a standard way of importing, naming, 
etc... for the plugins then this might act as sort of a pseudo way 
of enforcing it. It should be trivial to add that sub to C::A and 
the plugin's author would need to make sure that their plugin worked 
that way.

Just a thought.
