There's no need to do that because the order in which plugins are
listed in the ``load_plugins`` property is the order in which plugins
occur on the callback lists.

So if ``cachepluginA`` has to go before ``cachepluginB``, then you
list them in that order in ``load_plugins``::

   py["load_plugins"] = ["cachepluginA", "cachepluginB"]

There's only one exception to this.  If the user doesn't set
``load_plugins``, the PyBlosxom loads all the plugins in the
``plugin_dirs``.  In that case the plugins get loaded in order of the
directories in ``plugin_dirs`` and for each directory they get loaded
in alphabetical order.

I'm pretty sure we note this in the documentation, but I should
probably add a note to the "writing plugins" documentation so that
plugin writers can explicitly state whether order is an issue in their
plugin documentation.
