public interface DocumentIndexing
This interface is for services wanting the documents referred by an index entry to be also
indexed. Any implementation of this interface has to enrich the index entry with the documents
to index. These documents will be then parsed by the indexing engine.
Some times, some documents are attached to a contribution to index and it can be then useful to
index also the documents themselves. As the indexing engine doesn't know how to get such
documents, it delegates this task to the services with this knowledge. For doing, such services
have to implement this interface. The indexing engine will then invoke all the implementation
but
only one must enrich the index entry.
