I'm quite certain that Monte meant a function plugin there. Just to be
clear and try to avoid confusion, a modifier plugin has a unique syntax
compared to function plugins and the modifier name is always given
after its first (required) parameter like so: {10|p:5}. If you were
going to do a modifier, I might suggest that if only the first
parameter is given, you assume dimensions of nxn (eg: {1|p} is 1x1 and
{2|p} is 2x2 but {3|p:4} is 3x4}. However, unless you resort to filter
tricks, you can *not* write {p} or even {|p} with a modifier. Then
again you could register a function plugin for that specific case (in
addition to the modifier).
