-------------------------------------------------------
This functionality is not only useful for enabling more extensions, but also so
we can register extra jinja filters and use the Flask app decorators.
If the order of execution (plugins first, then the Flask app) isn't easy to
change, would it possible to have an optional {{init_app(app)}} function in the
plugin file or plugin class? Something like being done for

or
