/**
 * Extension interface for {@link dwtx.jface.text.ITextViewer}.
 * <p>
 * It provides
 * <ul>
 * <li>text presentation invalidation enhancements</li>
 * <li>text hover management enhancements</li>
 * <li>a replacement for auto indent strategies</li>
 * <li>support for custom painters</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * It extends the means for text presentation invalidation by allowing a
 * specific region of the presentation to get invalidated. It replaces
 * {@link dwtx.jface.text.ITextViewer#setTextHover(ITextHover, String)}
 * with a new method that allows to specify state masks for a better control of
 * the hover behavior.
 * <p>
 * An {@link dwtx.jface.text.IAutoEditStrategy} is a generalization of
 * the original {@link dwtx.jface.text.IAutoIndentStrategy}. Auto edit
 * strategies can be arranged in a list that is executed like a pipeline when
 * the viewer content is changed.
 * <p>
 * A {@link dwtx.jface.text.IPainter}is creating and managing visual
 * decorations on the viewer's text widget. Viewer's can have an open number of
 * painters. Painters are informed about changes to the viewer content and state
 * and can take the necessary action in responds to the notification.
