-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Console use / deactivate commands are not symmetric
                 Key: TINKERPOP3-742
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP3-742
             Project: TinkerPop 3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: console
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.GA
         Environment: All
            Reporter: David Robinson
            Assignee: stephen mallette
            Priority: Trivial


To load a plug in and "activate it" one types:

:plugin use tinkerpop.sugar

However, to "unuse" a plugin, one types:
:plugin deactivate tinkerpop.sugar
and then stops and restarts the console.

The commands to "load" and "unload" a plug-in should be symmetric.
Either the commands should be:
:plugin use and :plugin unuse
or
:plugin activate and :plugin deactivate
or
:plugin load and :plugin unload
or whatever.

I can "bend my head" to understand, possibly why different terms were used 
since a console restart is needed to unload the jar file for the plug-in, but 
the command should still be symmetric for ease of use and to reduce confusion.
