However, make sure you really need to be loaded at startup. Startup is
slow enough as it is and just adding more to it will slow it down even more.

The use of this mechanism is discouraged except for rare cases where it
must be done that way.

And even when you use this mechanism, program defensive. Don't rely on
your plug-in being loaded at startup, the user may override this.
