SampleCMPlugin is in the Examples:Carbon directory that's created when
you install the OS X developer tools.
If you were focussing on finding ways to enhance something associated
with the Finder specifically, you were probably filtering out useful
results in your search - the context menu facility is actually system
wide and its up to the plugin to examine the specific context and decide
what, if any, items to offer.

I have no idea what it means, but it's such a cool "word" (by which I mean
pronouncable sequence of letters) regardless.
