 * Marks psi element as (potentially) containing text in other language.
 * Injected language PSI does not embed into the PSI tree of the hosting element,
 * but is used by IDEA for highlighting, completion and other code insight actions.
 * In order to do the injection, you have to
 * 
 * Implement {@link com.intellij.psi.LanguageInjector} to describe exact place where injection should occur.
 * Register injection in {@link com.intellij.psi.LanguageInjector#EXTENSION_POINT_NAME} extension point.
 * 
 * Currently, language can be injected into string literals, XML tag contents and XML attributes.
 * You don't have to implement PsiLanguageInjectionHost by yourself, unless you want to inject something into your own custom PSI.
 * For all returned injected PSI elements, {@link InjectedLanguageManager#getInjectionHost(PsiElement)} returns PsiLanguageInjectionHost they were injected into.
