Hello list !

But there's a king of 'namespace/function' like in Perl, so I keep ::
 (I like being flamed ;) ). Another argument is below.

And what about i2c_sensors() and proc_stat() ?? The eval will try to
load plugin_i2c.so or plugin_proc.so !!
We'll have to find another replacement for spaces or write i2csensors()
or I2cSensors() which is quite uggly :/
So I don't think '_' is the best choice as it's already used.

That's what we were talking about. But instead of calling xmms::parse()
 you call it xmms().
