/**
 * @brief Base class for all extension that can be added to a DocumentObject
 *
 * For general documentation on why extension system exists and how to use it see the ExtensionContainer
 * documentation. Following is a description howto create custom extensions.
 *
 * Extensions are like every other FreeCAD object and based on properties. All information storage
 * and persistence should be achieved by use of those. Additional any number of methods can be
 * added to provide functionality around the properties. There are 3 small difference to normal objects:
 * 1. They must be derived from Extension class
 * 2. Properties must be handled with special extension macros
 * 3. Extensions must be initialised
 * This works as simple as
 * @code
 * class MyExtension : public Extension {
 *   EXTENSION_PROPERTY_HEADER(MyExtension);
 *   PropertyInt MyProp;
 *   virtual bool overridableMethod(DocumentObject* obj) {};
 * };
 *
 * EXTENSION_PROPERTY_SOURCE(App::MyExtension, App::Extension)
 * MyExtension::MyExtension() {
 *
 *     EXTENSION_ADD_PROPERTY(MyProp, (0)) *
 *     initExtension(MyExtension::getExtensionClassTypeId());
 * }
 * using MyExtensionPython = ExtensionPythonT<MyExtension>;
 * @endcode
 *
 * The special python extension type created above is important, as only those python extensions
 * can be added to an object from python. It does not work to add the c++ version directly there.
 *
 * Note that every method of the extension becomes part of the extended object when added from c++.
 * This means one should carefully design the API and make only necessary methods public or protected.
 * Every internal method should be private.
 *
 * The automatic availability of methods in the class does not hold for the python interface, only
 * for c++ classes. This is like every where else in FreeCAD, there is no automatic creation of python
 * API from c++ classes. Hence the extension creator must also create a custom python object of its
 * extension, which works exactly like the normal FreeCAD python object workflow. There is nothing
 * special at all for extension python objects, the normal xml + imp.cpp approach is used. It must
 * only be taken care that the objects father is the correct extension base class. Of course also
 * make sure your extension returns the correct python object in its "getPyObject" call.
 * Every method you create in the extensions python will be later added to an extended object. This
 * happens automatically for both, c++ and python extension, if "getPyObject" returns the correct
 * python object. No extra work needs to be done.
 *
 * A special case that needs to be handled for extensions is the possibility of overridden methods.
 * Often it is desired to customise extension behaviour by allowing the user to override methods
 * provided by the extension. On c++ side this is trivial, such methods are simply marked as "virtual"
 * and can than be overridden in any derived class. This is more involved for the python interface and
 * here special care needs to be taken.
 *
 * As already seen above one needs to create a special ExtensionPythonT<> object for extension from
 * python. This is done exactly for the purpose of allowing to have overridable methods. The
 * ExtensionPythonT wrapper adds a proxy property which holds a PyObject which itself will contain
 * the implementations for the overridden methods. This design is equal to the ObjectPythonT<> design
 * of normal document objects.
 * As this wrapper inherits the c++ extension class it can also override the virtual functions the
 * user designed to be overridden. What it should do at a call of the virtual method is to check if
 * this method is implemented in the proxy object and if so call it, and if not call the normal
 * c++ version. It is the extensions creators responsibility to implement this check and call behaviour
 * for every overridable method.
 * This is done by creating a custom wrapper just like ExtensionPythonT<> and overriding all virtual
 * methods.
 * @code
 * template<typename ExtensionT> class MyExtensionPythonT : public ExtensionT {
 * public:
 *
 *   MyExtensionPythonT() {}
 *   virtual ~MyExtensionPythonT() {}
 *
 *   virtual bool overridableMethod(DocumentObject* obj)  override {
 *       Py::Object pyobj = Py::asObject(obj->getPyObject());
 *       EXTENSION_PROXY_ONEARG(allowObject, pyobj);
 *
 *       if(result.isNone())
 *           ExtensionT::allowObject(obj);
 *
 *       if(result.isBoolean())
 *           return result.isTrue();
 *
 *       return false;
 *   };
 * };
 * @endcode
 * @Note As seen in the code there are multiple helper macros to ease the repetitive work of querying
 * and calling methods of the proxy object. See the macro documentation for how to use them.
 *
 * To ensure that your wrapper is used when a extension is created from python the extension type must
 * be exposed as follows:
 * @code
 * using MyExtensionPython = ExtensionPythonT<MyExtensionPythonT<MyExtension>>;
 * @endcode
 *
 * This boilerplate is absolutely necessary to allow overridable methods in python and it is the
 * extension creator's responsibility to ensure full implementation.
