Normally, yes, but unless we actively prevent it, people could load integer
plugins into float hosts and vice versa, resulting in "mysterious" crashes.

People would only load whatever plugins into the host that the host allows.
If plugins have profiles (in meta-data) and way to enumerate them, then I
can't imagine a case where a host wouldn't know exactly what kind of plugin
it was instantiating. If we're worried about that, we could make the API
require the host to pass in a kind of profile identifier when creating a
plugin of a particular profile. That way, if the host wants floats, and
tries to create an int with a float "cookie", the int will fail to load.
