Nice idea. I dont think its neccesary to have them all be in a single
plugin though - you can just declare individual sub-plugins to be members
of a virtual plugin (or something, in thier metadata) so that hosts that
can pick the correct version of the plugin for the track, or if its
ambiguous - eg. a modular synth - offer the user a choice of configuration
under the choice for plugin name.
