But a bit of a pain to go back and do the existing ones, unless we
decide to make them all since some arbitary API number and then do it
right after that.

The idea was only to declare the three pointers with the correct names
(which need to be in the plugin namespace with the right names for the
macros to work).  I would agree that passing them might be nicer but
then its harder to ensure they have the name that makes the macros
work and they have to be passed to all functions in the plugin by the
same name.  Thats too error prone, this approach may not be nice, but
its easier.
