It's certainly an option to take an existing plugin manager and without
having looked into any of them, I would tend to assume that Sebastian's
is the best. It is also clearly very feature rich.
I used the wording "rudimentary plugin manager" because what I had
in mind foremost is standardising the conventions. A basic reference
implementation helps with documenting that and determining what issues
there might be. But perhaps that's already known. For example, I seem
to remember something about the various frameworks causing compinit to
be run multiple times. A pure plugin manager has no business running
compinit even once but if there is a fundamental reason such as needing
to do something only after compinit has run then perhaps we could add a
hook in to compinit. Or was a good solution found for zplugin?

default_zstyle() doesn't prevent it altering an existing user's setup so
unconditional inclusion might be a problem.
