Detailed Description

This is a C++ representation of a plugin.

It will load an Elektra plugin using the module loader from Elektra.

Then you can either check the plugins configuration using loadInfo(), parse() and check. Symbols can then be retrieved with getSymbol().

Or you can use the normal open(), close(), get(), set() and error() API which every plugin exports.
