Description

Create a better API for writing plugins, taking into consideration that the library will try to do the most it can so the only plugin's job will be to import/export data (rows will automatically deal with importing data in a lazy way or not, for example -- the plugin should only provide a generator on the import function).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current plugin system in the repository and design a new API that minimizes plugin effort by handling lazy data import/export internally. Plugin writers should only need to provide generator functions for import and export.
