    Hi, D Richard Felker III!

    In addition to said by me in previous letter:

    Note that also we cannot get any description and help for loadable
plugin until we open the file. BTW, opening of one dinamic file may take
not so much time. I think mozilla/gimp/etc. just do so much work on the
opening so it's sloooooow. When we about to get only info from it, it may
be a much faster. Anyway, we could make a difference - we can create
another pl_get_infos() call to scan info from loadable plugins. (it may
be need for gui but don't need for commandline interface so we can do it
only on demand, isn't it?)
