 Beyond PreProcessorDirectives, Other types of hooks that can be used by
 plugins include:

+not able to process on its own. The function should process any options it
+can, removing them from @ARGV, and probably recording the configuration

+an option it cannot process, and should just skip over those options and
+leave them in @ARGV.

 The most common thing to do is probably to call $template->param() to add
 a new custom parameter to the template. Note that in order to be robust,
