* \brief Variable/Modeline extension interface for the Document.
*
* \ingroup kte_group_doc_extensions
*
* \section variface_intro Introduction
*
* The VariableInterface is designed to provide access to so called
* "document variables" (also called modelines), for example variables
* defined in files like "kate: variable value;" or the emacs style
* "-*- variable: value -*-".
*
* The idea is to allow KTextEditor plugins and applications to use document
* variables. A document implementing this interface should return values
* for variables that it does not otherwise know how to use, since they
* could be of interest for plugins. A Document implementing this interface
* must emit the signal variableChanged() whenever a variable/value pair was
* set, changed or removed.
*
* \note Implementations should check the document variables whenever the
* document was saved or loaded.
*
* \section variface_access Accessing the VariableInterface
*
* The VariableInterface is an extension interface for a
* Document, i.e. the Document inherits the interface \e provided that the
* used KTextEditor library implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to
* access the interface:
* \code
* // doc is of type KTextEditor::Document*
* KTextEditor::VariableInterface *iface =
* qobject_cast<KTextEditor::VariableInterface*>( doc );
*
* if( iface ) {
* // the implementation supports the interface
* // do stuff
* }
* \endcode
*
* \see KTextEditor::Document, KTextEditor::Plugin
* \author Anders Lund \<anders@alweb.dk\>
