Reimplement "single- macro plugins" as pluglets? Contribute to effort to list them?

[fralau]

One of the key purposes of pluglets is to make it easy to replace single-macro plugins (e.g. read_csv) with an equivalent for Mkdocs-Macros.

There are two reasons for that:

1. The problem: Those plugins are incompatible with Mkdocs-Macros, because they use the same concept and the same syntax -- basically they exist just to implement a macro. But users need that functionality so they are taken in a catch-22. If we want Mkdocs-Macro to win, we need to re-implement those functions.

2. The saving grace: Re-writing those plugins as pluglets is easier and more elegant. That is because there is no need to reinvent the wheel with the mechanism for macros; it is already there.

What do you think of that? Should there be a community effort in that direction?

Food for thought: discussion #177

[fralau]

I created a list on a Github wiki page. You are welcome to submit new pluglets.
