/**
 * This class describes a registry contributor which is an entity that supplies information
 * to the extension registry. Depending on the registry strategy, contributor might delegate 
 * some of its functionality to a "host" contributor. For instance, OSGi registry strategy
 * uses "host" contributor to delegate some functionality from fragments to plug-ins. 
 * <p>
 * This class can be instantiated by the registry Service Providers.
