I don't think there is a universal answer to these questions. But starting 
with the second question, I would say it depends on whether you can use _some_ 
of the provided plugins without having ez installed. If yes, then it's 
probably a good idea to postpone the actual installation. If no, then it will 
save users some steps, if the dependency is already pulled in at installation 
time. I guess a "quick look" would generally include trying to run the plugin.

"rk.*" probably makes sense, and is consistent with our function-naming.

There is a - short - section on it. help:/rkwardplugins/current_object.html
