plugins aren't added to @ISA, so you can't override methods.

It currently supports:
process() - which is called at the start of $form->process()
post_process() - which is called before $form->process() returns
render() - which is called at the start of $form->render()
post_render() - which is called before $form->render returns.

It also supports adding plugins to single elements, rather than just
the form (of course, for each plugin, it will usually only make sense
to add it to either the form, or an element).
