I'm not sure we all have or that the project has used it consistently in that 
way. It is new enough to Bro I'm not bothered if we shift it slightly. To me, 
the important part of a the definition of a plugin for most software is that it 
is an externally contributed, self/contained add-on which extends 
functionality. Binary or compiled don't seem very important to the definition. 

Module, extension, package, bundle, add-on, plugin, bag, etc.; whatever we pick 
long term users will acclimate. I am more concerned new users or creating 
confusion in our documentation.
