    /**
     * An Extension is an object that can be loaded on demand (from a plugin) 
     * and can have multiple object-specific interfaces. Its main function is
     * to enable activation and configuration of a plugin feature from an
     * osgEarth .earth file.
     *
     * For example, the pattern for declaring an Extension that connects to a
     * MapNode looks like:
     *
     *   public MyExtension : public Extension,
     *                        public ExtensionInterface<MapNode>
     *
     * You can implement more than one interface. This one would connect to a
     * MapNode and to a UI Control:
     *
     *   public MyExtension : public Extension,
     *                        public ExtensionInterface<MapNode>,
     *                        public ExtensionInterface<Control>
     *
     * You can register an Extension so that one can activate and configure it
     * from a .earth file. Use the registration macro:
     *
     *   REGISTER_OSGEARTH_EXTENSION( osgearth_extension, ExtentionClassName );
     *
     * Where the string "extension" in osgearth_extension is the key string 
     * that will appear in the earth file under the <map> element.
