/// from the debug monitor (e.g. debugserver, lldb-server, etc.)
///
/// This plugin type is activated by a Process-derived instance when that
/// instance detects that a given structured data feature is available.
///
/// StructuredDataPlugin instances are inherently tied to a process.  The
/// main functionality they support is the ability to consume asynchronously-
/// delivered structured data from the process monitor, and do something
/// reasonable with it.  Something reasonable can include broadcasting a
/// StructuredData event, which other parts of the system can then do with
/// as they please.  An IDE could use this facility to retrieve CPU usage,
/// memory usage, and other run-time aspects of the process.  That data
/// can then be displayed meaningfully to the user through the IDE.

/// For command-line LLDB, the Debugger instance listens for the structured
/// data events raised by the plugin, and give the plugin both the output
/// and error streams such that the plugin can display something about the
/// event, at a time when the debugger ensures it is safe to write to the
/// output or error streams.
