Request: Support for plugins / module loading

[tzvsi]

Thank you for updating MG to ES6 modules. Congrats on the release. I've been following the announcement discussion. I plan on contributing to your fork.

Looking at the API, I'm wondering if or how you'd like to implement MG2 plugin / modules? Do you have a module architecture in mind?

Naturally legacy MG plugins would need to be rewritten, which provides like an opportunity to define a class loader (ie, prior to instantiating LineChart). I have a few ideas, but wanted to open a ticket for discussion.

Side note, I've added support for MG lifecycle events / hooks (as defined in common/hooks.js): add_hook and call_hook methods. This would likely impact modules, which often depend on hooks (ie, line.after_init). Interested in a PR?

Hi! Thanks for checking out the fork. I've not really thought about a plugin architecture so far. A PR would be great! 👍
