I don't know if you have to remove TestInterpreterPlugin at the beginning
of the 3.7 cycle. Why not let it be deprecated, and remove it around the
time of 3.7 final?
Speaking of renaming parts of the code generation apparatus, what about
renaming #initialiseModule to #initializeModule to match the spelling
in the rest of the image? I was pulling out hair for a while trying to
figure out why my plugin wasn't being initialized.
