Right, "for this" - not. But I made it clear that it will be a shared lib with 
a common API.

Plugins are not silver bullets. For me it is two-side collaboration what 
happens between apps. Simple injecting a returned value into a cell is easy 
but very simple "proof of concept" case. We have covered this any times on IRC 
and ML.

I think (for my case, and convenience), future demand and particular 
developer's interest will show how the design and implementation can look 
like. Right now all this can look as follows: show me what's your need re data 
access so I can provide special interface/plugins/whatever.
