Note that the APIs for this are very clear and easy to use. They are
already being used for the Turtle import code. Which is of course not
done as a module.

We might for example want to refactor the Turtle import code like one of
these plugins. Not sure of there would be a reason for this, though.

At least not at this moment (it's unrelated). Just pointing out that
this is why it's sometimes needed to have the indexer nearby.
