/**
* Extension interface for {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocumentPartitioner}.
*
* Extends the original concept of a document partitioner to answer the position
* categories that are used to manage the partitioning information.
*
* This extension also introduces the concept of open and delimited partitions.
* A delimited partition has a predefined textual token delimiting its start and
* end, while an open partition can fill any space between two delimited
* partitions.
*
*
* An open partition of length zero can occur between two delimited partitions,
* thus having the same offset as the following delimited partition. The
* document start and end are considered to be delimiters of open partitions,
* i.e. there may be a zero-length partition between the document start and a
* delimited partition starting at offset 0.
*
*
* @since 3.0
