I’m repeating myself here, but I believe that what TiddlyWiki calls a “plugin” 
is what you are calling a “bundle”: it’s a generic mechanism for packing 
multiple tiddlers into a single tiddler so that they can be installed and 
manipulated as a unit.

The docs at http://tiddlywiki.com/#Plugins <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Plugins> 
acknowledges the everyday meaning of “plugin” as an optional installable thing, 
but then in the second paragraph goes on to describe the specific meaning 
within TiddlyWiki. To me, the text seems clear and unambiguous, but perhaps we 
can concentrate some effort on improving it; we’re too late to change the terms 
that we use.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
