Excellent new idea re plugins, a lot of these tools are too inflexible !

`lc` mentioned elsethread [1] was always extensible with plugins for formatting and file-typing (but also always supported libmagic-based file-typology). There are other fairly distinctive ideas in `lc`, actually.. the README has a list.

While I like it and it's a good idea, I think the reality is that developers capable enough to write shared library/DLL plugins are more likely to just submit PRs and make such stuff built-in but maybe optional.

"Always" is just 4 years? Lc is also one of these new tools

Which are more likely to just be rejected by the more conservative maintainers of the tool. That's the empowering beauty of plugins - no such barriers

Your tone is rather disputatious/critical, but we have literally no dispute here.
