You made your point.
I was trying to make things work no matter whether a plugin is found
during initialization or later with the ":loadplugin" command, but
apparently that's not what you expect.
I can make it so that everything under pack/name/ever is added, no
matter whether there is is a plugin file or not.
We still need ":loadplugin" for when a plugin is to be loaded only when
needed, thus after initialization.
