[Templates] plugin base...

[Eric Sammer]

all:

i'm working on a site where we use the plugin arch a bit. i have a few 
plugins built with a prefix like SiteName::Plugin::<PluginName> which 
works well. the issue is that i have a few plugins with the same name, 
using the package name to distinguish them. my real question is would 
anyone consider allowing no plugin base so we can use fully qualified 
package names in the USE tokens? it would be nice to do something like:

[% USE poll = MySite::Plugins::Poll() %]

rather than

[% USE poll = Poll() %]

especially in situations where the package name could be choosen 
dynamically based on teh virt host the request comes through. that said, 
i understnad the security implications involved in not rooting what 
modules could be run in a request, but i thought that maybe since the 
ABSOLUTE option snuck in, something similar would be considered for plugins.

if this is something that's of even remote interest, i'll submit a patch 
(i'm just on limited time and don't want to do the work if it's not of 
interest to andy and the other TT'ers)

comments?

thanks in advance to all...
