 * Thanks so much for including this plugin with core installations. It’s very useful
   when learning how to implement custom plugins. It’s also insightful to be able
   to manipulate the plugin and see the effects on functionality.

 * It’s a terrible example of how to structure a modern plugin though.

 * Do you have suggestions for someone just wrapping their brains around plugins?

 * Or, dig into the source code of a more functional plugin that does the kinds 
   of things you want to do. Hello Dolly doesn’t use _any_ of the conventions that
   have become standard elements of creating a good plugin.
