	   The plugin is expected to store everything necessary to completely
	   restore its state later.  Plugins SHOULD store simple POD data whenever

	   concurrently with functions in any other class, unless the definition of

	   with a "Discovery" function, but it may be called concurrently with an
	   "Audio" function.  The plugin is responsible for any locking or
	   lock-free techniques necessary to make this possible.

	   Note that in the simple case where state is only modified by restore(),
	   there are no synchronization issues since save() is never called
	   concurrently with restore() (though run() may read it during a save).

	   Plugins that dynamically modify state while running, however, must take
