     \brief Creates custom dependency scanners in modules.

+    A \c Scanner item can appear inside a \l{Module Item}, and allows to extract
+    dependencies for artifacts from the artifacts' file contents.
+    For example, this is what a scanner for "qrc" files might look like:
     \code
     import qbs.Xml
 
     Module {
       Scanner {

           var xml = new XmlDomDocument(input.filePath);
           dependencies = [];
-          // do something with the xml
+          // retrieve <file> entries from the XML document
           return dependencies;
         }
