Implement plugin-compatible architecture
Many people are asking about circle customization, too custom to be a part of the library core (e.g. arc layout, multiple values, hexagon).
I usually decline such PRs and suggest to use a code snippet that patches some methods (usually drawArc method).
But this approach is not the best - it can't be well supported, it can't be well evolved.
So the goal is to provide some plugin-compatible architecture that allows to re-use the library core and to customize whatever you need.
As I see it now (just an idea):
<script src="circle-progress.js">
<script src="circle-progress-arc-plugin.js">
<script>
$('.circle').circleProgress(/* ... */); // you can use original unmodified functionality
$('.arc').arcProgress(/* ... */); // here is the plugin that implements arc layout (e.g.)
</script>
So you don't mess-up .circleProgress but re-use it and override whatever you need.
Though it's possible to re-use the same name .circleProgress, I'd avoid that. Multiple plugins will definitely conflict with each other.
