"Extension" vs. "Plugin

[Guy Pyrzak]

I personally prefer the term 'plugin' but that's just because it makes sense
to me (i even call firefox extensions plugins) but since it says Extension
in CVS then I agree, call it what it says it is in the CVS. But I don't
think we can stop people from referring it to whatever they want. So yes for
now on, if someone talks about plug-ins, we should correct them with the
word "extension".
