What's this?

load_plugin(directory) protected

Load the plugin at path unless already loaded.

Each plugin is initialized:

add its lib directory, if present, to the beginning of the load path
evaluate init.rb if present

Returns true if the plugin is successfully loaded or false if it is already loaded (similar to Kernel#require). Raises LoadError if the plugin is not found.
