  You can't with a data plugin yet.  We're going to make a new plugin model in 
the next release which will let you do that.  At best you can just copy the 
existing evaluator into your tree.  I have some ideas I want to experiment 
with in the evaluator to make it much faster yet, but that probably won't 
happen until the summer at the earliest.
