+    \class QDesignerScriptExtension
+    \brief The QDesignerScriptExtension class allows you to generate a
+    per-widget \l{QtScript} {Qt Script} snippet to be executed while
+    building the form.
+
+    \internal
+    \inmodule QtDesigner
+    \since 4.3
+
+    On saving the form, the extension is queried for a script snippet
+    to be associated with the widget while saving the UI file.
+    This script is then run after creating the widget by \l uic or
+    QUiLoader.
+
+    As opposed to \l QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::codeTemplate(),
+    it allows for applying an internal state of the widget
+    that can be manipulated using \QD.
+
+    Such a state might for example be the contents of a custom item view widget,
+    for which an editor is provided by the QDesignerTaskMenuExtension.
+
+    While saving the form, the state is serialized as a QVariantMap of
+    \QD-supported properties, which is stored in the UI file. This is
+    handled by data() and setData().
+
+    For item view contents, there might be for example a key that determines
+    the number of items and other keys that contain the actual items following
+    a naming scheme (\c numItems, \c item1, \c item2, ...).
+
+    On saving, script() is invoked, which should return a script snippet that
+    applies the state to the widget while building the form.
