I had a feeling this was too easy :)
So, as far as I can tell, there's no way to automagically detect
`GremlinPlugin` implementations without loading and inspecting every class on
the classpath. Internally, this is what `ServiceLoader` is doing, which causes
static initialization of every class it loads.
What do you think about deferring the classpath scanning until `:plugin
list` is run? I think the autodiscovery is useful, but it doesn't need to run
on startup.
