 * Symbols declared from within plugins, all of this is <b>deprecated</b>.
 *
 * @deprecated This is the legacy way of making plugins for Geany. Refer to @ref howto for the
 * reworked process and @ref legacy to learn how to port your plugin to that new world.
 * Meanwhile Geany will still load plugins programmed against this interface (even the items that
 * are marked deprecated individually such as @ref plugin_fields).
 *
 * Geany looks for these symbols (arrays, pointers and functions) when initializing
 * plugins. Some of them are optional, i.e. they can be omitted; others are required
 * and must be defined. Some symbols should only be declared using specific macros in
 * @link plugindata.h @endlink.
