What is the idea?

For this upcoming issue: conda/conda#11777 we plan on adding support for using CLI parsing libraries like click to the sub-command plugin hook system for conda. This issue will create an example in this repository that will be available to our users.

What should happen?

There's already a pretty well fleshed out example in the following pull request: conda/conda#12285 Implementing this issue will involve copying that example over here.

To make the example a little more useful, it would be nice to add usage of the conda API. For example, we could print some properties stored on the context object:

from conda.base.context import context

print(context.active_prefix)

Other examples are welcome and potential assignees are encouraged to use their imagination 😄 .
