+Plugin authors: As of v1.20, you can request JSON-formatted consider
+data from this script programmatically. To initiate a consider re-
+quest, call `Consider.start()`, which returns true/false to indicate
+whether consider can currently be sent to the MUD. To receive the
+resulting data, check for a broadcast msg 0 from this plugin in your
+`OnPluginBroadcast()` function; the `text` argument will contain the
+JSON. Here is an example from another of my plugins:
+ 
+```
+local CON_PLUGIN = "434bc4b92d5e6ddf77d8e20c"
+ 
+function Aura.count(alias, line, wc)
+    if (Aura.report) then
+        Utility.msg("Another aura count is already in progress.")
+        return
+    end
+    local _, considering = CallPlugin(CON_PLUGIN, "Consider.start")
+    if (considering) then
+        local report = trim(wc.report):lower()
+        report = report == "" and "echo" or report
+        Aura.report = report
+        Utility.msg("Counting auras...")
+    end
+end

+function OnPluginBroadcast(msg, id, name, text)
+    if (id == CON_PLUGIN) then
+        Aura.receive_mob_list(text)
+    end
+end
+```
+ 
+The `Aura.receive_mob_list()` handler then decodes the string, does
+whatever it must with the data, and then sets `Aura.report` back to
+nil so that another request can be made later.
