This would need to be a "core" plugin then. A plugin that is loaded before all 
the others, not possible to unload and in many other ways different from all 
the other plugins.

Maybe some middleground. Put all this functionality in a regular dynamic 
library and have the linker load it for us. Anybody wanting to replace data 
persistence handling with their own, highly optimised "plugin" could create a 
library and replace the default one or use LD_PRELOAD to have the linker load 
that one instead of the default.
