// ------------- Add a set of plugins or a set of interfaces ------------------
 
// The following three macros can be used to produce multiple plugins and/or
// multiple interfaces from your shared library.
 
/* Usage example for multiple plugins and one interface:
 *
 *     IGN_COMMON_BEGIN_ADDING_PLUGINS
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeClass1, mylibrary::ns::SomeInterface)
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeClass2, mylibrary::ns::SomeInterface)
 *     IGN_COMMON_FINISH_ADDING_PLUGINS
 *
 *
 * Usage example for one plugin and multiple interfaces:
 *
 *     IGN_COMMON_BEGIN_ADDING_PLUGINS
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeClass, mylibrary::ns::Interface1)
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeClass, mylibrary::ns::Interface2)
 *     IGN_COMMON_FINISH_ADDING_PLUGINS
 *
 *
 * Usage example for multiple plugins and multiple interfaces:
 *
 *     IGN_COMMON_BEGIN_ADDING_PLUGINS
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeClass, mylibrary::ns::FooInterface)
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeOtherClass, mylibrary::ns::BarInterface)
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeClass, mylibrary::ns::SomeInterface)
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeOtherClass, mylibrary::ns::FooInterface)
 *       IGN_COMMON_ADD_PLUGIN(mylibrary::ns::SomeOtherClass, mylibrary::ns::SomeInterface)
 *     IGN_COMMON_FINISH_ADDING_PLUGINS

// Note that the order in which (Plugin, Interface) pairs are added does not
// matter. Multiple plugins are allowed to provide the same interface. There is
// no inherent limit on the number of interfaces or plugins that are allowed.
//
// These macros MUST be called in the global namespace in a source file of your
// library's codebase. A single library is only allowed to have ONE block of
// these macros (i.e. if you find yourself invoking
// IGN_COMMON_BEGIN_ADDING_PLUGINS more than once in your library, then you are
// doing something that is not permitted). Recommended practice is to have a
// single source file (e.g. plugins.cpp) in your library's codebase that is
// dedicated to hosting these macros.
