### findLoader

    public RuleLoader findLoader(Digester digester,
                                 Class<?> pluginClass,
                                 Properties p)
                          throws PluginException

  If there exists a class whose name is the plugin class name + the suffix specified to the constructor, then load that class, locate the appropriate rules-adding method on that class, and return an object encapsulating that info.

  If there is no such class, then just return null.

  The returned object (when non-null) will invoke the target method on the selected class whenever its addRules method is invoked. The target method is expected to have the following prototype: `public static void xxxxx(Digester d, String patternPrefix);`

  Specified by:
    `findLoader` in class `RuleFinder`
  Throws:
    `PluginException`
