But the problem remains: If you are using a plugin _and_ the author didn't
implement $this->cObj->stdWrap, you simply can't use it.
So I would prefer a default stdWrap for all USER or USER_INT elements to
provide stdWrap properties regardless of the extension itself.

For some of my extensions I used a workaround and provided COA as the
default TS setup for the plugin.

plugin.blah = COA
plugin.blah {
    stdWrap {
        bla
    }
    10 = USER_INT
    10 {
        bla
    }
}

IMHO this should be the default setup for every plugin because it
a) provides stdWrap automatically
b) the user can add other stuff like additional headers or descriptions
before and after the plugin more easily
