callPluginsImplementing($interfaceName, $methodName, $argument) is run
at various points of the program and make plugins implementing given
<interfaceName> interface execute given <methodName> with given <argument>
argument.
Of course interface-defined methods must be implemented in the matching plugins.
Plugins can implements one or more CartoWeb interfaces.
Implementing interfaces is not mandatory when writing a plugin but not doing so will
keep plugins from being implicitely called by the main program. As a result, methods
from plugins with no interface implementation - also called "service plugins" - must
be explicitely called by another piece of code (generally an other plugin).
class ClientYourPlugin extends ClientPlugin
implements Sessionable, GuiProvider {
/* here comes your plugin client class definition */
}
