  \class Core::IEditor
  \brief The IEditor is an interface for providing different editors for different file types.

  Classes that implement this interface are for example the editors for
  C++ files, ui-files and resource files.

  Whenever a user wants to edit or create a file, the EditorManager scans all
  EditorFactoryInterfaces for suitable editors. The selected EditorFactory
  is then asked to create an editor, which must implement this interface.

  Guidelines for implementing:
  \list
  \o displayName() is used as a user visible description of the document (usually filename w/o path).
  \o kind() must be the same value as the kind() of the corresponding EditorFactory.
  \o The changed() signal should be emitted when the modified state of the document changes
     (so /bold{not} every time the document changes, but /bold{only once}).
  \o If duplication is supported, you need to ensure that all duplicates
        return the same file().
  \endlist
