+/** @file
+ * This is an LV2 extension allowing plugin instances to have a set of
+ * dynamic named/typed variables (ie key/value metadata).
+ *
+ * Plugin variable values are always in string form (if numeric
+ * variable values are requires in realtime run callbacks, it is assumed
+ * the plugin will cache the converted value).
+ *
+ * Keys are strings, either free-form locally unique strings, or URIs.
+ * Types are URIs (corresponding to some type defined somewhere, e.g. in an
+ * XML namespace or RDF ontology).
+ *
+ * The goal is to provide a powerful key/value system for plugins, which is
+ * useful for setting run-time values (analogous to DSSI's "configure" calls)
+ * which is typed and ideal for serializing to RDF (which means variable
+ * values can be stored in the same file as the plugin's definition) or
+ * network transmission/control.
