Details

Due to changes to the subscript loader (which loads our plugins), it now caches non-remote content like local files. This kinda screws up reloading plugins. Luckily, we can flush the cache with a call to the observer topic of "startupcache-invalidate".

Unfortunately, I think this screws the entire startup cache, but there seems to be no alternative in the API. We therefore need to be careful to only notify this topic when reloading a plugin, and not when loading them on initial start.
