I think for plugins to be true plugins, you need to be able to write one
without changin any existing zinf code. When I tried to write my own
plugin a few weeks ago, I got stuck on how to add preferences to it.

AFAICT you can't without editing zinf proper, and even then it's not
obvious what to do.
