## Detailed Description

This interface is designed to provide access to "document variables", for example variables defined in files like "kate: variable value;" or the emacs style "-*- variable: value -*-". KTextEditor interface to Document Variables.

The purpose is to allow KTE plugins to use variables. A document implementing this interface should return values for variable that it does not otherwise know how to use, since they could be of interrest to plugins. A document implementing this interface must emit the variableChanged() signal whenever a variable is set that it will return a value for.
