My personal opinion on the datatype issue: a plugin must declare what
datatype it uses for (all) I/O.  The host must convert to/from that type or
reject the plugin.

I don't like this idea. Reason: it will force a (marketing driven) migration to 64-bit datatypes which is a bad idea. Much better to have the plug list the formats it can accept.
