I agree. I think the modules that define the standard API for config'ing, logging
and session handling deserve their own name space.

I don't like these two names myself. I thought of "API" which is clear
it defines an API. Maybe then:

CGI::Application::API::Config;

But the existing config plugins keep their name (let's not rename /everything/!)

CGI::Application::Plugin::ConfigAuto;
CGI::Application::Plugin::Config::Simple;
etc. 

However, they would start being implemented with API::Config. 

On the other hand, Cees is making a case for a general plugin loading
solution, which /would/ be appropriate to give a name like 

 CGI::Application::Plugin

It looks like the "config()" conversation has turned into 

"CGI::Application, the Next Generation"....
