I hope it'll be possible :) I heard a general overview of the plugins infrastructure a few months ago and it sounded like what I'd need, but I was unable to find a very detailed account of how it works and what specific information is available to plugins, so maybe I'm just dreaming.

Just wondering a couple of things about core -> core plugins.

Is the second use case mentioned by pumpkingod there (tracking which rewrite
rules are firing and when) actually possible using a core -> core plugin?

(it would be great to have this information fed into some sort of emacs plugin
where one could drill down on specific functions to see what is happening)

Also, is Hoopl expected to be used on core -> core plugins, and, if so, is the
infrastructure in place for this?

Thanks!  -Tyson
