Add API calls for creating/changing/deleting Plans and Items

It would be awesome if the API allowed for making changes to plans and items in addition to the current customer changes that are possible.

We use multiple cheddar products/accounts to separate out transactions from our various development, testing, and production environments. Right now we have to manually make any plan changes manually across all of those products/accounts. This is time consuming and more significantly highly error prone. Anything which would let us automate plan changes would be a big win for us.

    Thanks Sean for the suggestion. We feel your pain here. Unfortunately, plan config is too complex to enable API access. However, we also see the significant value in a solution. We have tossed around ideas of "cloning" or "syncing" product accounts with a master (live) account.

    We're currently in the middle of a major upgrade which will change the way we think about live vs dev, etc. Once that's complete, we can start thinking about a concrete solution. In the meantime, we're stuck with manual entry.

    One idea another client had was to write something to pull all the pricing plan xml and compare each dev account to the live one and spit out a report of what's different. Nothing of the sort exists right now but I'm sure the community would benefit if something like that was added to the API wrappers.
