Android recently came out with a new com.android.feature plugin to be used to split up applications into features for the new Instant apps. It seems to be an architecture they are recommending in general, not just for features you are splitting up for instant apps. You can do some reading about it's usage here.
What I'm failing to understand is what this plugin actually does better / differently than the normal android-library plugin. I ask, because my team is legitimately considering splitting up our code into feature modules, for reasons that have nothing to do with Android instant apps, and I'm not understanding what the benefit to using the com.android.feature plugin is.
