/**
* @page howtoPluginsExtensions Extension Plugins
*
* Note that the part of the libyang API here is available only by including a separated `<libyang/plugins_exts.h>` header
* file. Also note that the extension plugins API is versioned separately from libyang itself, so backward incompatible
* changes can come even without changing libyang major version.
*
* YANG extensions are very complex. Usually only its description specifies how it is supposed to behave, what are the
* allowed substatements, their cardinality or if the standard YANG statements placed inside the extension differs somehow
* in their meaning or behavior. libyang provides the Extension plugins API to implement such extensions and add its support
* into libyang itself. However we tried our best, the API is not (and it cannot be) so universal and complete to cover all
* possibilities. There are definitely use cases which cannot be simply implemented only with this API.
*
* libyang implements 3 important extensions: [NACM](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8341), [Metadata](@ref howtoDataMetadata)
* and [yang-data](@ref howtoDataYangdata). Despite the core implementation in all three cases is done via extension plugin
* API, also other parts of the libyang code had to be extended to cover complete scope of the extensions.
*
* We believe, that the API is capable to allow implementation of very wide range of YANG extensions. However, if you see
* limitations for the particular YANG extension, don't hesitate to contact the project developers to discuss all the
* options, including updating the API.
*
* The plugin's functionality is provided to libyang via a set of callbacks specified as an array of ::lyplg_ext_record
* structures using the ::LYPLG_EXTENSIONS macro.
*
* The most important ::lyplg_ext.compile callback is responsible for processing the parsed extension instance. In this
* phase, the callback must validate all the substatements, their values or placement of the extension instance itself.
* If needed, the processed data can be stored in some form into the compiled schema representation of the extension
* instance. To make the compilation process as easy as possible, libyang provides several
* [helper functions](@ref pluginsExtensionsCompile) to handle the schema compilation context and to compile standard YANG
* statements in the same way the libyang does it internally.
*
* The data validation callback ::lyplg_ext.validate is used for additional validation of a data nodes that contains the
* connected extension instance directly (as a substatement) or indirectly in case of terminal nodes via their type (no
* matter if the extension instance is placed directly in the leaf's/leaf-list's type or in the type of the referenced
* typedef).
*
* The ::lyplg_ext.sprinter callback implement printing the compiled extension instance data when the schema (module) is
* being printed in the ::LYS_OUT_YANG_COMPILED (info) format. As for compile callback, there are also
* [helper functions](@ref pluginsExtensionsPrint) to access printer's context and to print standard YANG statements
* placed in the extension instance by libyang itself.
*
* The last callback, ::lyplg_ext.free, is supposed to free all the data allocated by the ::lyplg_ext.compile callback.
* To free the data created by helper function ::lys_compile_extension_instance(), the plugin can used
* ::lyplg_ext_instance_substatements_free().
*
* The plugin information contains also the plugin identifier (::lyplg_type.id). This string can serve to identify the
* specific plugin responsible to storing data value. In case the user can recognize the id string, it can access the
* plugin specific data with the appropriate knowledge of its structure.
*
* Logging information from an extension plugin is possible via ::lyplg_ext_log() function
