That's my comments, for what they're worth. One last more philosophical
one - at present the way the plugins work is that you can execute commands on
`br` (via `ExecuteCoreCommand`). In a sense this means that plugins can't do
anything that you couldn't do with a script to wrap execution of `br` itself.
Would it be worth considering changing this so that instead plugins provide
a way of executing REST API calls, using the abilities of the `api` module
(which they could import) just the way the existing commands do? That would
mean that developers could create new commands on top of the API just as br
currently does. It might thus be easier to craft entirely new commands that
you couldn't do via br itself.
Not quite sure what this approach would look like, but it's a thought...
