 * Ok, so I’m trying to use wp_mail(), get_currentuserinfo() and possibly a couple
   of other pluggable functions in a plugin I’m writing. This presents a problem
   because (obviously) the plugin code is loaded before the pluggable functions.
   Is there any way to get around this?

 * If your plugin is _doing something_ as soon as it’s loaded, then no: there’s 
   no way for you to rely on `wp_mail()` and `get_currentuserinfo()`. The functions
   in pluggable-functions.php are expressly designed to be overriden by plugins,
   and therefore load after all plugins load.
 * If you can reconfigure your plugin to _do stuff_ after pluggable-functions is
   loaded, you might be better off.
