[forge-dev] FSH and testing for installation of a plugin

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Hmm... you want to make sure that a plugin is installed in a FSH script.
Good question...

Do you need the plugin to be available, or just installed (and possible not
available in the current context.) In reality, you probably really want to
check for the availability of the command, yes?

I know that the shell throws errors on failure, but I'm not sure there's
really a good way to test for that in a FSH script without using a
try-catch block somehow. (Try catch would probably work, though I'm not
exactly sure what the syntax would look like (it depends on your script to
some extent.))
