    \brief Creates custom dependency scanners in modules.

    A 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 {
        inputs: 'qrc'
        scan: {
          var xml = new Xml.DomDocument(input.filePath);
          dependencies = [];
          // retrieve <file> entries from the XML document
          return dependencies;
        }
      }
    }
    \endcode
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Scanner::condition

    If \c true, the scanner is enabled, otherwise it does nothing.

    \defaultvalue \c true
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Scanner::inputs

    A list of \l{FileTagger}{file tags} the input artifacts must match.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Scanner::recursive

    Determines whether to scan the returned dependencies using
    the same scanner.

    \defaultvalue \c false
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty script Scanner::searchPaths

    A script that returns the paths where to look for dependencies.

    The code in this script is treated as a function with the signature
    \c{function(project, product, input)}.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty script Scanner::scan

    A script that reads the input artifact and returns a string list with
    dependencies.

    The code in this script is treated as a function with the signature
    \c{function(project, product, input)}.

    \nodefaultvalue
