I think I made them on the JIRA.
> 1) I'm open to using a term other than "alert", if there are any specific
suggestions.
We should definitely not overload "alert" here. I think "message" is
sufficient.
> 2) I will be working on updating the P.R. with additional example code of
the utility of this mechanism which will also illustrate use cases.
Great, looking forward to that!
Also, I think that the default mode of this feature should be to send a
message to a specific, named plugin. Maybe you could optionally broadcast the
message to all plugins, but it seems most useful to message a specific plugin.
The message itself should be a opaque bag of bytes. This would let you send
things like serialize protobuf messages (for example).
