class ElementBase(object):

    """
    The core of SleekXMPP's stanza XML manipulation and handling is provided
    by ElementBase. ElementBase wraps XML cElementTree objects and enables
    access to the XML contents through dictionary syntax, similar in style
    to the Ruby XMPP library Blather's stanza implementation.

    Stanzas are defined by their name, namespace, and interfaces. For
    example, a simplistic Message stanza could be defined as:

    >>> class Message(ElementBase):
    ...     name = "message"
    ...     namespace = "jabber:client"
    ...     interfaces = set(('to', 'from', 'type', 'body'))
    ...     sub_interfaces = set(('body',))

    The resulting Message stanza's contents may be accessed as so:

    >>> message['to'] = "user@example.com"
    >>> message['body'] = "Hi!"
    >>> message['body']
    "Hi!"
    >>> del message['body']
    >>> message['body']
    ""

    The interface values map to either custom access methods, stanza
    XML attributes, or (if the interface is also in sub_interfaces) the
    text contents of a stanza's subelement.

    Custom access methods may be created by adding methods of the
    form "getInterface", "setInterface", or "delInterface", where
    "Interface" is the titlecase version of the interface name.

    Stanzas may be extended through the use of plugins. A plugin
    is simply a stanza that has a plugin_attrib value. For example:

    >>> class MessagePlugin(ElementBase):
    ...     name = "custom_plugin"
    ...     namespace = "custom"
    ...     interfaces = set(('useful_thing', 'custom'))
    ...     plugin_attrib = "custom"

    The plugin stanza class must be associated with its intended
    container stanza by using register_stanza_plugin as so:

    >>> register_stanza_plugin(Message, MessagePlugin)

    The plugin may then be accessed as if it were built-in to the parent
    stanza.

    >>> message['custom']['useful_thing'] = 'foo'

    If a plugin provides an interface that is the same as the plugin's
    plugin_attrib value, then the plugin's interface may be assigned
    directly from the parent stanza, as shown below, but retrieving
    information will require all interfaces to be used, as so:

    >>> message['custom'] = 'bar' # Same as using message['custom']['custom']
    >>> message['custom']['custom'] # Must use all interfaces
    'bar'

    If the plugin sets the value is_extension = True, then both setting
    and getting an interface value that is the same as the plugin's
    plugin_attrib value will work, as so:

    >>> message['custom'] = 'bar'  # Using is_extension=True
    >>> message['custom']
    'bar'

    StanzaBase provides the foundation for all other stanza objects used by
    SleekXMPP, and defines a basic set of interfaces common to nearly
    all stanzas. These interfaces are the 'id', 'type', 'to', and 'from'
    attributes. An additional interface, 'payload', is available to access
    the XML contents of the stanza. Most stanza objects will provided more
    specific interfaces, however.

    Stanza Interface:
        from    -- A JID object representing the sender's JID.
        id      -- An optional id value that can be used to associate stanzas
                   with their replies.
        payload -- The XML contents of the stanza.
        to      -- A JID object representing the recipient's JID.
        type    -- The type of stanza, typically will be 'normal', 'error',
                   'get', or 'set', etc.

    Attributes:
        stream -- The XMLStream instance that will handle sending this stanza.

    Methods:
        set_type    -- Set the type of the stanza.
        get_to      -- Return the stanza recipients JID.
        set_to      -- Set the stanza recipient's JID.
        get_from    -- Return the stanza sender's JID.
        set_from    -- Set the stanza sender's JID.
        get_payload -- Return the stanza's XML contents.
        set_payload -- Append to the stanza's XML contents.
        del_payload -- Remove the stanza's XML contents.
        reply       -- Reset the stanza and modify the 'to' and 'from'
                       attributes to prepare for sending a reply.
        error       -- Set the stanza's type to 'error'.
        unhandled   -- Callback for when the stanza is not handled by a
                       stream handler.
        exception   -- Callback for if an exception is raised while
