+ * #EExtension objects can be tacked on to any #GObject instance that
+ * implements the #EExtensible interface. A #GObject type can be made
+ * extensible in two steps:
+ *
+ * 1. Add the #EExtensible interface when registering the #GType.
+ * There are no methods to implement.

+ * <informalexample>

+ * ECustomWidget, e_custom_widget, GTK_TYPE_WIDGET,
+ * G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (E_TYPE_EXTENSIBLE, NULL))
+ * </programlisting>
+ * </informalexample>
+ *
+ * 2. Load extensions for the class at some point during #GObject
+ * initialization. Generally this should be done toward the end of
+ * the initialization code, so extensions get a fully initialized
+ * object to work with.
+ *
+ * <informalexample>
+ * <programlisting>
+ * static void
+ * e_custom_widget_init (ECustomWidget *widget)
+ * {
+ * Initialization code goes here...

+ * 2. In the class initialization function, specify the #GType being

+ *
+ * 3. Register the extension's own #GType. If the extension is to
+ * be loaded dynamically using #GTypeModule, the type should be
+ * registered in the library module's e_module_load() function.
