 *
 * \section sessionconfig_support Adding Session Support
 *
 * To add support for sessions a KTextEditor implementation has to derive the
 * Document and View class from SessionConfigInterface and reimplement
 * readSessionConfig() and writeSessionConfig().
 *
 * The same applies to a Plugin, read the detailed description for plugins.
 *
 * \section sessionconfig_access Accessing the SessionConfigInterface
 *
 * The SessionConfigInterface is supposed to be an extension interface for a
 * Document, a View or a Plugin, i.e. the Document/View/Plugin inherits the
 * interface \e provided that it implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to
 * access the interface:
 * \code
 * // object is of type KTextEditor::Document* or View* or Plugin*
 * KTextEditor::SessionConfigInterface *iface =
 *     qobject_cast<KTextEditor::SessionConfigInterface*>( object );
 *
 * if( iface ) {
 *     // interface is supported
 *     // do stuff
 * }
 * \endcode

 *
 * \section parameterizedsessionconfig_intro Introduction
 *
 * The ParameterizedSessionConfigInterface is an extension for Documents
 * to add support for session-specific configuration settings with more fine-grained
 * control over the settings that are manipulated.
 * The readParameterizedSessionConfig() method is called whenever session-specific settings are to be
 * read from the given KConfig* and the writeParameterizedSessionConfig() method whenever they are to
 * be written, for example when a session changed or was closed.
 *
 * \note A \e session does not have anything to do with an X-session under Unix.
 *       What is meant is rather a context, think of sessions in Kate or
 *       projects in KDevelop for example.
 *
 * \note ParameterizedSessionConfigInterface is meant to be an extension of SessionConfigInterface.
 *       Due to limitations with qobject_cast it is not possible in KDE4 to derive this interface
 *       from SessionConfigInterface.
 *
 * \section parameterizedsessionconfig_support Adding Session Support
 *
 * To add support for sessions a KTextEditor implementation has to derive the
 * Document class from ParameterizedSessionConfigInterface and reimplement the methods defined
 * in this class.
 *
 * \section parameterizedsessionconfig_access Accessing the ParameterizedSessionConfigInterface
 *
 * The ParameterizedSessionConfigInterface is supposed to be an extension interface for a
 * Document i.e. the Document inherits the
 * interface \e provided that it implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to
 * access the interface:
 * \code
 * // object is of type KTextEditor::Document*
 * KTextEditor::ParameterizedSessionConfigInterface *iface =
 *     qobject_cast<KTextEditor::ParameterizedSessionConfigInterface*>( object );

 * if( iface ) {
 *     // interface is supported
 *     // do stuff
 * }
