A plugin interacts with a service via the following pathways:
- An optional set of notifiers, managed by calling add_notifier()
or by overriding _notifiers()
- A set of api extensions, managed via add_api_extension_descriptor()
- Direct calls to service functions.
- Whatever else the plugin wants to do on its own.
This is the reference implementation.
