Bug Description

--set command-line option is undocumented - the only thing --help says about it is "Set of plugins".

Technically it can load e.g. "filemanager" plugin, but passing that also renames scratch to "filemanager".

I presume this is for use cases like Euclide, running a rebranded Scratch with an external set of plugins. This should be better documented, e.g. in the manpage.

I've documented my understanding of it in the manpage. It is inferred from glancing at the source code, not guaranteed to be correct.

The manpage is not yet in the source tree and currently resides in packaging branch, see bug #1333887

The --set option is documented in the man page for Scratch.

However the --help option does not list this application option (this is a fault of some other Pantheon Applications)
