Description
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
Issue
From a cursory glance, it looks like plugins are converted to entrypoints, but it would be good to clarify this in the documentation because it reads as if they are different:
Poetry supports arbitrary plugins which work similarly to setuptools entry points. (2)
