A plugin is a particular component. A plugin is not referenced in the ComponentSpace. A plugin is usefull to encapsulate a specific set of operations. A plugin is often used as a strategy pattern to make an operation interchangeable without changing the component. All plugins MUST BE thread safe. Plugins are singletons. As a plugin is a component, it can own component's behaviors such as Activeable.
