    \brief The ICore class allows access to the different part that make up
    the basic functionality of Qt Creator.

/*!
    \fn VariableManager *ICore::variableManager() const
    \brief Returns the application's variable manager.

    The variable manager is used to register application wide string variables

*/

/*!
    \fn VcsManager *ICore::vcsManager() const
    \brief Returns the application's vcs manager.

    The vcs manager can be used to e.g. retrieve information about
    the version control system used for a directory on hard disk.
    The actual functionality for a specific version control system
    must be implemented in a IVersionControl object and registered in
    the plugin manager's object pool.

    \fn ModeManager *ICore::modeManager() const
    \brief Returns the application's mode manager.

    The mode manager handles everything related to the instances of IMode

    You can use it to retrieve or set application wide settings
    (in contrast to session or project specific settings).

    If \a scope is QSettings::UserScope (the default), the
    users settings will be read from the users settings, with
    a fallback to global settings provided with Qt Creator.

    If \a scope is QSettings::SystemScope, only the system settings
    shipped with the current version of Qt Creator will be read. This
    functionality exists for internal purposes only.

    \see settingsDatabase()
*/

/*!
    \fn SettingsDatabase *ICore::settingsDatabase() const
    \brief Returns the application's settings database.

    The settings database is meant as an alternative to the regular settings

*/

/*!
    \fn QPrinter *ICore::printer() const
    \brief Returns the application's printer object.

/*!
    \fn QString ICore::userResourcePath() const
    \brief Returns the absolute path in the users directory that is used for

    \brief Plugins can do some pre-end-of-life actions when they get this signal.

    The application is guaranteed to shut down after this signal is emitted.
    It's there as an addition to the usual plugin lifecycle methods, namely
    IPlugin::aboutToShutdown(), just for convenience.
