Afaiks this never worked.

No, this should actually be done by the usebuilder.

It never worked for imports, only - barely - for file-local defined stuff.

Sure.

Not to my knowledge. You can write one based on the AbstractFileManagerPlugin, 
it is (imo) quite straight forward. If you need help, just ask here.

You probably don't have a developer account yet, hence I'd like to see the 
patch on reviewboard first. If it's multiple commits, just to get it 
compiling, please squash the commits for review, but send them later on as 
created by "git format-patch".

Thanks for taking care of this! Cheers
