(I know this isn't being introduced here, but I wasn't involved in the previous review -- and I'm not actually sure I want to be involved here). I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing in this case, but maybe we should not be calling it a plugin in that case? We already have a couple of precedents for putting implementations of "pluggable" classes into generic code -- ProcessTrace for instance. And just like in the case of ProcessTrace (where the real plugin is the thing which handles the trace file format), here the real plugin would the the scripting language backing the scripted process?

Maybe one way around this is to have some generic metadata that gets passed to the plugin, that can be different per plugin?
