public interface IObjectContributor
Objects of classes that implement this interface can be registered for certain object type in the IObjectContributorManager. Unlike with extenders, all the matching contributors will be processed in a sequence.

By implementing 'isApplicableTo' method, a contributor can tell the manager to skip it if the object is of the desired type, but its other properties do not match additional requirements imposed by the contributor.
