Yes, we have that code. I think 4.8 has it.

But that defeats the purpose of not needing to inspect the files before 
attempting to load them. Between having the data next to the plugin as opposed 
to inside the plugin, I'd rather have it next to them.

In any case: for loading of modules (QLibrary), there's nothing to be 
inspected.

It's only for the plugin mechanism that we need something better.
