Looking more closely at both PluginCore and the Juce Audio
Plugin Framework, the latter is actually a GPL effort in the same
way[1], except that it supports RTAS which PluginCore doesn't.
So what you thought would be nice actually exists, except that
the GPL alternative supports more formats. :-)

is a wrapper to _run_ plugins.
