/**
 * SECTION: e-extensible
 * @short_description: an interface for extending objects
 * @include: e-util/e-extensible.h
 *
 * #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>
 * <programlisting>
 * #include <e-util/e-extensible.h>
 *
 * G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE (
 *         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...
 *
 *         e_extensible_load_extensions (E_EXTENSIBLE (widget));
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 * </informalexample>
