		Plugin for adding custom property editors on inspector.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
	This plugins allows adding custom property editors to [EditorInspector]. 
	Plugins are registered via [method EditorPlugin.add_inspector_plugin].
	When an object is edited, the [method can_handle] function is called and must return true if the object type is supported.	
	If supported, the function [method parse_begin] will be called, allowing to place custom controls at the beginning of the class.	
	Subsequently, the [method parse_category] and [method parse_property] are called for every category and property. They offer the ability to add custom controls to the inspector too.	
	Finally [method parse_end] will be called.	
	On each of these calls, the "add" functions can be called.
