* Annotation that marks a type an extension implementation.

* When a type is marked with annotation the type will be loaded
* by the plugin framework and will receive the lifecycle callbacks
* of the Go API interfaces it implements.
* </p>
* Please refer to the Go Plugin documentation for more details on how to use
* this annotation.
