/**
 * Interface for drag-and-drop handlers. A drag-and-drop handler defines
 * behavior for drag-and-drop operations with respect to a specific sort of
 * objects.
 * 
 * Drag-and-drop handlers discoverable at runtime must implement this interface
 * and be annotated with @{@link Plugin} with attribute {@link Plugin#type()} =
 * {@link DragAndDropHandler}.class. While it possible to create a drag-and-drop
 * handler merely by implementing this interface, it is encouraged to instead
 * extend {@link AbstractDragAndDropHandler}, for convenience.
