Description

Plugins today are a bit wishy-washy: they need to implement an interface that you need to copy out, and need to operate with another class whose interface also needs to be copied out.

Good enough for JavaScript, not good enough for TypeScript.

Our plugin interface needs to go into a separate package so that it can serve as a single source of truth, plus have tests on it that guarantee that it cannot be changed in a backwards incompatible way.

Use Case

Properly supporting plugins.

Proposed Solution

Introduce @aws-cdk/plugin-api, or similar.
