This is exactly the point I am trying to point out! The plugin reports
that it does not support the extension!
Oh, I thought you were saying that the alias doesn't get registered if
you set it from your app.
I am telling that this is NOT a good idea. And finally, the discussion
about "design" ideas can start.
I think it's a very good idea for a plugin to quickly reject a file if
the extension name is wrong. This is a matter of efficiency. The plugin
shouldn't waste time trying to read a file that it knows it doesn't support.
To support your usage, you should write a pseudoloader: a plugin that
accepts extension "ivx" (or whatever) but then turns around and invokes
the actual plugin to load the file. See osgdb_scale, osgdb_trans, etc.
