way to control pre-loaded instance plugins

[jonschlinkert]

Pre-loaded plugins are called before other potentially necessary properties are set on the instance (by inheriting applications or even other non-pre-loaded instance plugins).

We might need implement some type of control over when to invoke pre-loaded plugins. Or even just allow them to be loaded, but not invoked, so that an inheriting application can do .run on the instance to call the plugins.

@doowb thoughts?

I think we can make .run run the pre-loaded plugins against the current instance if no arguments are passed in. This will require users to do:

var app = new Base();
app.run();

I think this is okay because even with the instance .use method, if you want to run those plugins against something else, you have to manually call .run(something).

For inheriting classes this allows doing:

function MyApp() {
  Base.call(this);

  // add something else here
  this.use(something());

  // run any class prototype plugins
  this.run();
}

@jonschlinkert can you clarify a bit? I can't get it enough currently.

What specifically are you having trouble with? can you give an example?
