Feature category definition.
A site can organize its features into categories. Categories
can be further organized into hierarchies. Each category name
is a composed of the name of its parent and a simple identifier
separated by a slash ("/"). For example tools/utilities/print
defines a category that is a child of tools/utilities and
grandchild of tools.
Clients may implement this interface. However, in most cases clients should
directly instantiate or subclass the provided implementation of this
interface.
Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to
change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback
from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken
(repeatedly) as the API evolves.
