Detailed Description

plugins -- plug-in mechanism

Some function, such as floating point arithmetic, could have several
choices of modules. The 'plugins' module provides the mechanism to
choose one among these choices.  One can *plug-in* one module or
another for the function.

Usage:
The choice among plug-in modules is made through nzmath.config.
See the plug-in section of it for detail.

One can import all plugged-in constants as:
  from nzmath.plugins import *
but if he/she would like to select among features, it is possible:
  from nzmath.plugins import MATHMODULE as math
or something.

For Developers:
You should provide wrapper modules for plug-ins to ensure they have
the common interface.  Those plug-in wrapper modules should go into
the 'plugin' sub-package.
