A very minor change that would help mitigate this type of issue is
separating the addition of plugins to the load path from the
evaulation of init.rb.

If every plugin''s lib was in the load path *before* any plugin could
start playing around or monkeypatching, many situations where you
might want to explicitly ensure a plugin was loaded can be made to go
away.
