    Description

      Currently, sub-plugins are only available for Activity Modules.
      This makes sense since it's reasonably expensive to check each plug-in of a given type for sub-plugins. However I'd like them to be available for Local plugins too.

      Rationale:
      There wont be many local plugins, so there won't be many to check.
      Local plugins are designed for features that wont fit into the general structure of plugins. Therefore, they should be as flexible as possible - enabling sub-plugins would enhance this.
      In terms of code, it's only a small change.
