-        A list of plugin files to be loaded by Nix. Each of these
-        files will be dlopened by Nix, allowing them to affect
-        execution through static initialization. In particular, these
-        plugins may construct static instances of RegisterPrimOp to
-        add new primops or constants to the expression language,
-        RegisterStoreImplementation to add new store implementations,
-        RegisterCommand to add new subcommands to the
-        <literal>nix</literal> command, and RegisterSetting to add new
-        nix config settings. See the constructors for those types for
-        more details.

-      <para>
-        Since these files are loaded into the same address space as
-        Nix itself, they must be DSOs compatible with the instance of
-        Nix running at the time (i.e. compiled against the same
-        headers, not linked to any incompatible libraries). They
-        should not be linked to any Nix libs directly, as those will
-        be available already at load time.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        If an entry in the list is a directory, all files in the
-        directory are loaded as plugins (non-recursively).
