Thank you.

I just realized what I don't like about approach (1), which is superior in every other aspect.

For modules' author there's virtually no difference between the three approaches. One way or another, it's going to get scripted.

However, as a side contributor, I would prefer to know there's more than just one module. Is my bug specific to just one plugin? Am I changing some boilerplate and/or generated code? Is this change compatible with the author's tooling? And the answer to all of these is just ls.

That said, I'm not sure whether it's just me, or there are others who feel that way.
