Making plugins reloadable

So is there a complete example anywhere of the best way to make plugins reloadable? Specifically we have a number of models in our plugins that need to be reloaded on each request in development. I do not want to use generators.

I've seen references to using config.to_prepare like this:

config.to_prepare { require_dependency 'foo' }

What I don't know is how to use this when we have 10 different plugins, each with 3-4 models. Do I have to hardcode all those models in custom code that I load in /lib, or is there a way to access config from a plugin's init.rb?

I just remove the plugin's lib folder from Dependencies.load_once_paths (in the plugin's init.rb)
