Showcase a minimal operation-agnostic server model plugin (#3060)

Agnostic in that it's generic over the operation it's applied to.

Figuring out how to write such a plugin can be fun but is not trivial.
I'm mostly adding this as a reference to refresh my memory the next time
I have to implement one of these.
