the type *func(), which is uncommon.

A plugin with no exported symbols is still potentially very useful.
Its init functions are called on load, and it so it can have visible
side effects.

use it as the prefix on the exported symbol names.
Before this we used the basename of the plugin file as the prefix,
which could conflict and result in multiple loaded plugins sharing
symbols that are distinct.
