Two possibilities:
1. I create a shared object and put it under plugins directory and it
gets loaded the next geany is opened.
2. Still better, I write the plugins using scriting language such as
python in a way geany expects and place it under plugins directory and
the next time geany is opened, it loads the plugin.

The advantage of supporting a scripting language is the ease of
development/contribution. Plugins being non-core components can afford
the small overhead of slower execution I suppose.

Anyway, if thought useful, would like to request this as a feature for
future support.
