Detailed Description

Base class for plugins accepting second-level plugins.

A plugin for LeechCraft could be actually a plugin for another plugin. Then, to simplify the process, if a plugin could handle such second-level plugins (if it's a host for them), it's better to implement this interface. LeechCraft would the automatically manage the dependencies, perform correct initialization order and feed the matching first-level plugins with second-level ones.

Plugins of different levels are matched with each other by their classes, which is returned by IPlugin2::GetPluginClasses() and by IPluginReady::GetExpectedPluginClasses().
