class ElementBase(object):

    """
    The core of SleekXMPP's stanza XML manipulation and handling is provided
    by ElementBase. ElementBase wraps XML cElementTree objects and enables
    access to the XML contents through dictionary syntax, similar in style
    to the Ruby XMPP library Blather's stanza implementation.

    Stanzas are defined by their name, namespace, and interfaces. For
    example, a simplistic Message stanza could be defined as:

    >>> class Message(ElementBase):
    ...     name = "message"
    ...     namespace = "jabber:client"
    ...     interfaces = set(('to', 'from', 'type', 'body'))
    ...     sub_interfaces = set(('body',))

    The resulting Message stanza's contents may be accessed as so:

    >>> message['to'] = "user@example.com"
    >>> message['body'] = "Hi!"
    >>> message['body']
    "Hi!"
    >>> del message['body']
    >>> message['body']
    ""

    The interface values map to either custom access methods, stanza
    XML attributes, or (if the interface is also in sub_interfaces) the
    text contents of a stanza's subelement.

    Custom access methods may be created by adding methods of the
    form "getInterface", "setInterface", or "delInterface", where
    "Interface" is the titlecase version of the interface name.

    Stanzas may be extended through the use of plugins. A plugin
    is simply a stanza that has a plugin_attrib value. For example:

    >>> class MessagePlugin(ElementBase):
    ...     name = "custom_plugin"
    ...     namespace = "custom"
    ...     interfaces = set(('useful_thing', 'custom'))
    ...     plugin_attrib = "custom"

    The plugin stanza class must be associated with its intended
    container stanza by using register_stanza_plugin as so:

    >>> register_stanza_plugin(Message, MessagePlugin)

    The plugin may then be accessed as if it were built-in to the parent
    stanza.

    >>> message['custom']['useful_thing'] = 'foo'

    If a plugin provides an interface that is the same as the plugin's
    plugin_attrib value, then the plugin's interface may be accessed
    directly from the parent stanza, as so:

    >>> message['custom'] = 'bar' # Same as using message['custom']['custom']

    Class Attributes:
        name              -- The name of the stanza's main element.
        namespace         -- The namespace of the stanza's main element.
        interfaces        -- A set of attribute and element names that may
                             be accessed using dictionary syntax.
        sub_interfaces    -- A subset of the set of interfaces which map
                             to subelements instead of attributes.
        subitem           -- A set of stanza classes which are allowed to
                             be added as substanzas.
        types             -- A set of generic type attribute values.
        plugin_attrib     -- The interface name that the stanza uses to be
                             accessed as a plugin from another stanza.
