The documentation in Smalltalk listBuiltinModules suggests that this 
function will list all plugins.

In fact, it lists only the "internal" plugins "built into" the VM, 
and NOT subsequently loaded "external plugins."

The documentation should reflect this fact, so that folks (like 
myself) won't chase their tails trying to figure out how to load a 
plugin that is already loaded.

On the other hand, the "loaded" or "loadable" status of an "external" 
plugin is a highly desirable piece of information.  Presently, the 
only real solution is to write some special purpose procedure in the 
plugin to that end.
