filter_update_7003
is reading settings from a variable for each format it knows about. How do we handle this? Obviously we can cook this into prepareRow of the source class; but then how will contrib get on board? Reminder: we plan to use the entity load hook to let contrib extend the (module,delta) -> map mapping. It would make quite some sense to use the same hook as the event contribs will need to fire on but I am not sure what exactly they would change! Probably we need to provide some sort of extensibility for prepareRow apparently just not sure how. Another type of plugin?? Sounds a bit weird.
Edit: after a discussion with timplunkett I have decided on adding a hook to prepareRow.
