improve plugin implementation (support for other, user-provided plugins)
I'd like to extend feed2toot a bit (current project is to extract a "highlight" image from an RSS post and embed it in the toot). To achieve this I thought I'd write a plugin.
the example config, with the [influxdb] section, implies that other plugins might be supported (perhaps plugin foo uses section [foo]). But in truth the config parser only looks for section 'influxdb' (and the rest of the parser does validation on the keys for the influxdb plugin only).
Generalising the config parser to permit searching for other plugins would be a huge step towards making this practical. (After that the next natural step would be to move the config validation stuff for influxdb out of the parser and into the plugin)
Thanks for writing feed2toot!
