Description Dawid Pakula

In theory PDT is highly extendable. Unfortunately from adopter point of view, it's a nightmare.

Adopters are forced to use classes from *.internal package, even in extension definition. For example IQuickAssistProcessor. JSDT have such interface in API space (as the eternal provisional :P).

To encourage community to create usable PDT extensions we have to deliver stable and usable API. Especially in this areas:
1. AST Analysis
2. Type Inference
3. Index access (with cache)
4. Code Assist

This bug should be umbrella for all task related to this idea.
