Thanks for bringing this up ;-)

Although the usual way using PLUGIN_KEY_GROUP requires a fixed number
of keybindings, it should be possible to set any number by
declaring plugin_key_group[] yourself and initializing it in init().

I'm just updating the doxygen plugin docs (work in progress, make -C
doc api-doc) as follows:

"@code KeyBindingGroup plugin_key_group[1] @endcode
Most plugins should use the PLUGIN_KEY_GROUP() macro to define it.
However, its fields are not read until after init() is called for the
plugin, so it is possible to setup a variable number of keybindings,
e.g. based on the plugin's configuration file."

Hopefully your other points about NULL labels are now moot ;-) I'll
answer the htmlchars bug in another email.
