/**
* Interface for implementing setting cache plugins, provided by AppUi clients. 
* The plugin mechanism offers clients the ability to register themselves with 
* the AppUi, so that client specific settings can be updated when necessary, 
* and so that the plugin can report that a change has occurred to those settings. 
* The plugin can also cache the value of the setting, and report it when requested,
* although in practice the AppUi would have to know about the setting in order to 
* know what to do with it.
*
* The idea is that there may be a single setting whose current value can in principle 
* be controlled by a number of clients. At any one time, one of those clients has the 
* right to control the actual value of the setting, but each of the other clients may
* need to listen to other events in order to keep their values up to date. The clients 
* are arranged in a stack, so that the most recently added client overrides the values
* that are managed by the previously added clients.
*
* The plugins can handle specific event IDs, for example @c KAknLocalZoomLayoutSwitch. 
* When the setting cache is updated, for example during a layout switch event, 
* the plugins are asked to update their own cached values (in the order of the stack). 
*
* The first plugin that claims to handle the event id, and successfully updates, 
* is then asked for its value; however all other plugins will still get a chance to update. 
*
* It is possible to de-register from the middle of the stack (although in 
* practice clients should ensure that the stacking corresponds logically to 
* their own application context). 
*
* Consult the document S60 AVKON Zoom Design Document for a description of how 
* this API can be used to implement local zoom functionality by handling the 
* @c KAknLocalZoomLayoutSwitch event id.
