Nice plugin!  Should be part of the core.

Happy to make it a part of the core. Would you like me to submit a pull request?

You can make it part of v2
Will bubble it down to v3

Of course, and pull request sent.

Caveats:
- I couldn't get pytest to run in that repo.
- the tests have been failing before my commit. I can look into that whenever I have the time next (could be days) if you don't already know what the issue is

Docs:
- It looks like this doc page is auto generated from the plugin's docstring, which I've added.
- This plugin needs to be added to either the core list here or the experimental list for v3

-Red

Cool. I'll remove it from my repo.
