/**
 * An interface used to support tracking of common PSI modifications. It has three main usage patterns:
 * 
 *    Get a stamp of current PSI state. This stamp is increased when PSI is modified, allowing other subsystems
 *   to check if PSI has changed since they accessed it last time. This can be used to flush and rebuild various internal caches.
 *   See {@link #getModificationCount()}, {@link #getJavaStructureModificationCount()}, {@link #getOutOfCodeBlockModificationCount()}
 *
 *   
 Make a {@link com.intellij.psi.util.CachedValue} instance dependent on a specific PSI modification tracker.
 *   To achieve that, one should can one of the constants in this interface as {@link com.intellij.psi.util.CachedValueProvider.Result}
 *   dependencies.
 *   See {@link #MODIFICATION_COUNT}, {@link #JAVA_STRUCTURE_MODIFICATION_COUNT}, {@link #OUT_OF_CODE_BLOCK_MODIFICATION_COUNT}
 *
 *   
 Subscribe to any PSI change (for example, to drop caches in the listener manually).
 *   See {@link com.intellij.psi.util.PsiModificationTracker.Listener}
