--- Comment #15 from Mark Hofstetter <koha at trust-box.at> ---
just slept over it, and maybe I'm getting an idea about what feels wrong.

The system is very explicit now, meaning you need a lot of code in specific
places to use a plugin excactly "there"

I think a plugin system needs to be more implicit eg all cgi scripts should use
the same plugin hook(s) (with the name of the script as a config parameter
whether the plugin should actually run)

eg: plugin parameter rewrite 
add a parameter to all queries, or whenever a ISBN appears do a transformation

+ maybe could be doable by simply subclassing CGI 

+ or better an more generalised, derive all cgi scripts from a common base
class, wrap the code in a sub run {} and everthing becomes possible, this may
sound huge but should be in fact only a few lines per script

as I've said just thinking loud(ly)
