I don't like conflating the external and internal interface. The
interface to the outside and the interface to the inside should be
well-separated.

I'd be OK with such an idea if bitcoind listens on a separate port for
connections from plugins, a port that cannot be used for normal P2P
traffic. This could also be a UNIX socket instead of a TCP port.
