Yes. The host needs to know the mask we agree on that. However, unless I'm
missing something, the plugin isn't going to change the files it can accept
? So the conversation between the plugin and the host should only happen
when the plugin is loaded into the host ? Hence I'm not sure it needs to be
a parameter but in whatever mechanism we use to load the plugin.
