If you use some of the plugins with quite complex arguments
(check_snmp_storage.pl from http://manubulon.com comes to mind) it can
be very useful to hide away some of them behind a layer of
abstraction, especially when you're using this same plugin sometimes
to check disks and other times to check swap or memory.
