/**
 * Defines a two-way interfacing mechanism between a {@link Trait} exposing
 * object and an extension of that object.<br>
 * The extended object can call methods of the {@link #extensionAPI} which will
 * be able to interact with the extended object through the {@link #traitAPI}
 * interface it was paired with in the extension point. The actual circumstances
 * in which the extension methods are invoked are not defined by the extension
 * point.
