+
+Puts a C function into the chain of keyword plugins. This is the
+preferred way to manipulate the L</PL_keyword_plugin> variable.
+C<new_plugin> is a pointer to the C function that is to be added to the
+keyword plugin chain, and C<old_plugin_p> points to the storage location
+where a pointer to the next function in the chain will be stored. The
+value of C<new_plugin> is written into the L</PL_keyword_plugin> variable,
+while the value previously stored there is written to C<*old_plugin_p>.
+
+L</PL_keyword_plugin> is global to an entire process, and a module wishing
+to hook keyword parsing may find itself invoked more than once per
+process, typically in different threads. To handle that situation, this
+function is idempotent. The location C<*old_plugin_p> must initially
+(once per process) contain a null pointer. A C variable of static
+duration (declared at file scope, typically also marked C<static> to give
+it internal linkage) will be implicitly initialised appropriately, if it
+does not have an explicit initialiser. This function will only actually
+modify the plugin chain if it finds C<*old_plugin_p> to be null. This
+function is also thread safe on the small scale. It uses appropriate
+locking to avoid race conditions in accessing L</PL_keyword_plugin>.
+
+When this function is called, the function referenced by C<new_plugin>
+must be ready to be called, except for C<*old_plugin_p> being unfilled.
+In a threading situation, C<new_plugin> may be called immediately, even
+before this function has returned. C<*old_plugin_p> will always be
+appropriately set before C<new_plugin> is called. If C<new_plugin>
+decides not to do anything special with the identifier that it is given
+(which is the usual case for most calls to a keyword plugin), it must
+chain the plugin function referenced by C<*old_plugin_p>.
+
+Taken all together, XS code to install a keyword plugin should typically
+look something like this:
+
+ static Perl_keyword_plugin_t next_keyword_plugin;
+ static OP *my_keyword_plugin(pTHX_
+ char *keyword_plugin, STRLEN keyword_len, OP **op_ptr)
+ {
+ if (memEQs(keyword_ptr, keyword_len,
+ "my_new_keyword")) {
+ ...
+ } else {
+ return next_keyword_plugin(aTHX_
+ keyword_ptr, keyword_len, op_ptr);
+ }
+ }
+ BOOT:
+ wrap_keyword_plugin(my_keyword_plugin,
+ &next_keyword_plugin);
+
+Direct access to L</PL_keyword_plugin> should be avoided.
