I might have misunderstood your question, but I believe that you ca have
anyhting as API of your plugin
and have as many plugin instances as you want.
"plugin" in the library is only a common example of how we use dynamically
loaded shared libraries.
Basically, as long as you have a way to instantiate or acquire a plugin
implementation (for example with a factory function),
it will be managed through a shared_ptr (as the documentation shows).
