 * @include: gio.h
 * @see_also: <link linkend="extending-gio">Extending GIO</link>
 *
 * #GIOExtensionPoint provides a mechanism for modules to extend the
 * functionality of the library or application that loaded it in an 
 * organized fashion.  
 *
 * An extension point is identified by a name, and it may optionally
 * require that any implementation must by of a certain type (or derived
 * thereof). Use g_io_extension_point_register() to register an
 * extension point, and g_io_extension_point_set_required_type() to
 * set a required type.
 *
 * A module can implement an extension point by specifying the #GType 
 * that implements the functionality. Additionally, each implementation
 * of an extension point has a name, and a priority. Use
 * g_io_extension_point_implement() to implement an extension point.
 * 
 *  |[
 *  GIOExtensionPoint *ep;
 *
 *  /&ast; Register an extension point &ast;/
 *  ep = g_io_extension_point_register ("my-extension-point");
 *  g_io_extension_point_set_required_type (ep, MY_TYPE_EXAMPLE);
 *  ]|
 *
 *  |[
 *  /&ast; Implement an extension point &ast;/
 *  G_DEFINE_TYPE (MyExampleImpl, my_example_impl, MY_TYPE_EXAMPLE);
 *  g_io_extension_point_implement ("my-extension-point",
 *                                  my_example_impl_get_type (),
 *                                  "my-example",
 *                                  10);
 *  ]|
 *
 *  It is up to the code that registered the extension point how
 *  it uses the implementations that have been associated with it.
 *  Depending on the use case, it may use all implementations, or
 *  only the one with the highest priority, or pick a specific
 *  one by name.
 *
 *  To avoid opening all modules just to find out what extension
 *  points they implement, GIO makes use of a caching mechanism,
 *  see <link linkend="gio-querymodules">gio-querymodules</link>.
 *  You are expected to run this command after installing a
 *  GIO module.
