idea: plugins?

[yoshuawuyts]

I want to write a package to dedupe CSS; all of it. Problem is: we can't access the whole bundle because we stream it out. Should we perhaps introduce a plugin system of the sorts and have a labeled pipeline thing like browserify does? Perhaps only allow access to the final output stream?

cc/ @ahdinosaur @hughsk thoughts on how we can apply transformations to all of the CSS? Thanks!

This was brought up by dat-ecosystem-archive/datBase#381, which shows we need to dedupe - best would be to operate on all of the CSS ghmm

the simplest option feels like a "global plugin": a function to create a transform stream that is piped the final output stream, but happy with whatever you think is the best way to support your use case. 🌸

Yeah, think so too - tho in on the other hand Browserify is super mature and their plugin design is well thought out; perhaps we should make the leap and copy it? idk
