It's not currently possible, but if you want to implement this, using
GOption's groups is the way to go.  Though, we parse arguments long
before loading the plugins, so maybe it'd be a bit hard to make it fit…
 however, IIRC it's totally possible not to error out on unknown
arguments and then it'd be possible to re-parse what's left in argv
after deciding whether or not to load plugins.

Though, of course CL args are great, but why do you plugin need them?
Just curious.

Cheers,
Colomban
