I apologise if this sounds bikeshedding, but the "W", in -Wl is just
historical, it doesn't have any meaning as far as I know. And not all
options of gcc must start by either -f or -W. So please use just
-plugin, or, following your proposal:

-plugin=$NAME,arg1=value1,arg2=value2

Let -Wplugin be something that warns about plugins, whatever that may
mean in the future.

Cheers,

Manuel.
