Having been designing a plugins system for limabean using Clojure
transducers <https://clojure.org/reference/transducers>, I happened to
notice a very different implementation for plugins in OG Beancount.

Clojure transducers compose, so if you have a number of plugins, the
limabean plugin framework loops once over all the directives, passing each
directive through the whole chain of plugins.

I noticed that with the way plugins have been implemented in OG Beancount,
each plugin iterates over the entire list of directives. And then the next
plugin does the same, and so on.  I wonder if there is the potential here
for iterating just once, and passing each directive through the chain of
plugins?

Just to be clear, I'm only throwing this idea out.  I won't be working on
this! 😅

cheers,
Simon

PS. Upon reflection, it may not be very low hanging!  But worth considering
for vNext, surely.
