Will be.

Not for the languages, but you can get an idea from the devices, 
functions, and commands.  All of them are already pluggable.  The 
mechanism is the same.

The plugins are ".so" or ".dll" files (or equivalent).

The "dispatcher" manages them.

There is a base class for each type of plugin.

The actual code is in a derived class and accessed through virtual 
functions.

You can put as much as you want in a plugin, including a collection of 
all types.
