They are dlopened by the rustc process. You can totally mess with it: https://nitter.net/m_ou_se/status/1368632701448818691

I’m aware.

I just find calling the average proc-macro crate a “compiler plugin” a little bit baffling/confusing.

Isn’t the term “compiler plugin” reserved for crates/tools that depend on rustc, like clippy?
