+ A list of plugin files to be loaded by Nix. Each of these
+ files will be dlopened by Nix, allowing them to affect
+ execution through static initialization. In particular, these
+ plugins may construct static instances of RegisterPrimOp to
+ add new primops to the expression language,
+ RegisterStoreImplementation to add new store implementations,

+ Since these files are loaded into the same address space as
