/**
 * @short A prototype for Kexi Internal Parts (plugins) implementation.
 *
 * Internal Kexi parts are parts that are not available for users, but loaded
 * internally by application when needed. Example of such part is Relations Window.
 * The internal part instance is unique and has no explicitly stored data.
 * Parts may be able to create widgets or/and dialogs, depending on implementation
 * (createWidgetInstance(), createKexiWindowInstance(), createModalDialogInstance()).
 * Parts can have unique flag set for windows (true by default)
 * - then a dialog created by createModalDialogInstance() is unique.
