It depends. In most cases higher-order modules (i.e. functors) are perfect
tools for creating plugin architectures. Problems only sometimes arise
when "plugins" are dynamically selected or even generated, e.g. depending
on some command-line switches. Then they can become somewhat cumbersome
to use. In such cases first-class modules would be fine.

Best regards,
