+/**
+ * An <code>IReconciler</code> defines and maintains a model of the content
+ * of the text  viewer's document in the presence of changes applied to this
+ * document. An <code>IReconciler</code> is a {@link dwtx.jface.text.ITextViewer} add-on.
+ * <p>
+ * Reconcilers are assumed to be asynchronous, i.e. they allow a certain
+ * temporal window of inconsistency between the document and the model of
+ * the content of this document.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Reconcilers have a list of {@link dwtx.jface.text.reconciler.IReconcilingStrategy}
+ * objects each of which is registered for a  particular document content type.
+ * The reconciler uses the strategy objects to react on the changes applied
+ * to the text viewer's document.
+ *</p>
+ * <p>
+ * In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of <code>IReconciler</code>, extension
+ * interfaces are used to provide a means of evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>{@link dwtx.jface.text.reconciler.IReconcilerExtension} since version 3.0 introducing
+ *      the ability to be aware of documents with multiple partitionings.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The interface can be implemented by clients. By default, clients use
+ * {@link dwtx.jface.text.reconciler.MonoReconciler} or
+ * {@link dwtx.jface.text.reconciler.Reconciler} as the standard
+ * implementers of this interface.
+ * </p>
