What is the practical purpose of this extension?

This should be in SM.

With OnPluginUnload2 I would be able to automaticaly unload plugin-module once a plugin-core is unloaded.
With OnPluginLoad2 + GetPubVar I would be able to automaticaly register plugin-module once it's loaded (no registration native needed - only some pubvar).

That is actually the original idea for this extension.

This extension also has 2 natives to allow other plugins to compare given arrays (through native calls) to see if it's NULL_STRING/NULL_VECTOR

Edit: Just noticed a flaw in the newly added natives
Edit2: Fixed flaw
Edit3: Fixed a memory leak in GetPubVar

There is a way to do this now, by using forwards, libraries, or even the most simple/lazy method (loading/unloading plugins from a subfolder as FF2 does)

Iv seen some plugins that search the plugins folder for a prefix and issue the load/unload command..
