What if the plugin methods need the $c context object like a
Catalyst::Plugin? Will that automagically call a "new" subroutine? If so,
can a parameter list be passed in, say:

MyApp->plugin( 'myplugin', 'MyPlugin', [$c] );

I can retrieve the context object using C::P::Singleton but I'd rather not
hardcode MyApp into a plugin. Another option may be to subsequently set the
context like:

$c->myplugin->context( $c );

Is there a preferred way?
