KDevelop language support interface - the base class for all programming language support plugins.
Language support is used to load facilities specific to certain programming language.
Language supports are usually loaded among with a project. In this case project file defines
which language support to load.

Language support plugin is a good place for:
- a language parser which fills memory and persistent symbol store
(see @ref CodeModel and @ref KDevCodeRepository);
- code wizards specific to a programming language (like new class wizard);
- GUI designer integration (see @ref KDevLanguageSupport::designer method
documentation and @ref KDevDesignerIntegration class documentation;
- symbol (class, function, etc.) name formatting to a human-readable convention (pretty
formatted name).
