Usually, when you load a plugin, you don't want to load just any plugin that fulfills a given interface, but rather a specific one. When loading dynamic plugins you can differentiate the plugins by file name. This doesn't work in the static case, and file names are also separate from the plugin metadata shipped inside the plugin files. To solve this problem, different hacks have been developed in various places. QML extension plugins add a special property "uri" via the -M option of moc, QML debug plugins expect you to add a json file with an array of "Keys", Qt Creator plugins have a "Name" in their json files, etc. By allowing the identifier for the plugin to be specified inline with the metadata declaration we can make many of the above workarounds obsolete and provide a clean way for users to find their plugins.
