Plugin Special Names Suggestion

(Case 630693) Editor is loading Standalone dll in mobile

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/756779/unity-exclude-dll-by-platofrm-x86-64-special-names.html

I spend allot of my time writing plugins for unity. The plugin / special name system works fine for the most basic of cases, but falls apart in advanced situations. Here are some issues I have run into.

• Poor documentation on what special names there are
• The x86_64 and Standalone folders are loaded when building for mobile. This causes the editor to halt if the standalone version of the plugin uses System.Net.
• No Editor only plugin. This makes a x-platform plugin impossible to test in the editor when targeting mobile.

Here is a solution I have come up with. It is a new Plugin / Special names hierarchy.

• Plugins
  • Free
    • Editor, Standalone, iOS, Android, WindowsRT, ect...
  • Pro
    • Editor, Standalone, iOS, Android, WindowsRT, ect...
  • Editor, Standalone, iOS, Android, WindowsRT, ect...

Rules

• Plugins in the root "Plugin" folder are always loaded
• Plugins in Pro are only loaded if Unity Pro
• Plugins in Free are only loaded if Unity Free
• Plugins in the platform specific directories are only loaded if in that platform
• Plugins in the Editor folder are only loaded if in the editor regardless of platform

This should solve most every conceivable 'gotcha' situation I can think of.

p.s. Unity User Voice sucks. The limited votes makes it of limited use. Every time I go to use it I have to go around and delete my old votes. Really ? just make it a simple up-vote or 0-5 star rating system.
