  @brief The TagLibraryInterface returns available tags and filters from libraries.

  This interface must be implemented in tag and filter libraries.

  The implementation will usually be very simple.

  @code
    class MyTagLibrary : public QObject, public TagLibraryInterface
    {
      Q_OBJECT
      Q_INTERFACES( Grantlee::TagLibraryInterface )
    public:
      MyTagLibrary( QObject *parent = 0 )
          : QObject( parent ) {
      }

      QHash<QString, AbstractNodeFactory*> nodeFactories( const QString &name = QString() ) {
        Q_UNUSED( name );
        QHash<QString, AbstractNodeFactory*> nodeFactories;
        nodeFactories.insert( "mytag1", new MyTag1() );
        nodeFactories.insert( "mytag2", new MyTag2() );
        return nodeFactories;
      }

      QHash<QString, Filter*> filters( const QString &name = QString() ) {
