No clear documentation for creating a aws-cli plugin

I've done code spelunking and found interesting ideas in:

Lines 25 to 27 in c0d866a

      :type plugin_mapping: dict  
    :param plugin_mapping: A dict of plugin name to import path,  
    e.g. ``{"plugingName": "package.modulefoo"}``.  
 

aws-cli/awscli/customizations/s3/s3.py

Lines 23 to 26 in 5ce60be

      This function is require to use the plugin. It calls the functions  
    required to add all neccessary commands and parameters to the CLI.  
    This function is necessary to install the plugin using a configuration  
    file  
 

aws-cli/awscli/customizations/commands.py

Lines 47 to 49 in 37aac25

     # This is the name of your command, so if you want to  
   # create an 'aws mycommand ...' command, the NAME would be  
   # 'mycommand'  
 

and finally

aws-cli/awscli/clidriver.py

Line 55 in c0d866a

load_plugins(session.full_config.get('plugins', {}),

which lead me to try:

$ aws configure set plugins '{"mycommand": "awsplugins.mycommand"}' $ cat ~/.aws/config [default] region = us-east-1 output = json plugins = {"mycommand": "awsplugins.mycommand"} $ aws help | grep mycommand $ aws mycommand usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [parameters] aws: error: argument command: Invalid choice, valid choices are: autoscaling | cloudformation cloudfront | cloudhsm cloudsearch | cloudsearchdomain cloudtrail | cloudwatch cognito-identity | cognito-sync datapipeline | directconnect dynamodb | ec2 ecs | elasticache elasticbeanstalk | elastictranscoder elb | emr glacier | iam importexport | kinesis kms | lambda logs | opsworks rds | redshift route53 | route53domains sdb | ses sns | sqs ssm | storagegateway sts | support swf | s3api s3 | configure deploy | configservice help

Are there any examples of a working aws-cli plugin external to the aws-cli package? Is it supposed to be possible?
