+/**
+ * An {@link Extensible} object exposes a set of {@link Trait}s as
+ * {@link ExtendedTrait}s objects.<br>
+ * An {@link ExtendedTrait} is an association between a {@link Trait} exposing
+ * object and several extension objects.<br>
+ * The actual {@link Trait}s and associated extensions provided by an
+ * {@link Extensible} object are given by its {@link ExtensionPoint} handling
+ * strategy and by the current set of registered extensions (see
+ * {@link Extender}).<br>
+ * The exposed {@link Trait}s can be thought of as parts of an object's
+ * interface that will be exposed to an extension. Upon the extension invocation
+ * the given trait instances will be made available to their corresponding
+ * extensions.
