Re: [Gusdev-gusdev] Plugin.pm documentation

One other note on EasyCSP options:
t   Required. Specifies the data type of the argument. Allowed types are:
    id, float, int, date, string, boolean, table_id.

"table_id"!?! I guess you can make the argument that a plugin will run
within a specific DB env and that table_ids are already set, but is it
good practice to allow such database instance dependent parameters? Maybe
'object_type' or 'object_name' or at the very least 'table_name' so that
you can use the object layer to handle talking to the db. In short
allowing a option like 'table_id' promotes use of hard-coded SQL in
plugins. Not good for porting to different DBMS's
