+ <li>It is now possible to extend the compiler without having to
+ modify its source code. A new option <code>-fplugin=file.so</code>
+ tells GCC to load the shared object <code>file.so</code> and execute
+ it as part of the compiler. The internal documentation describes
+ the details on how plugins can interact with the compiler.</li>
