Container (plugin-meta 0.8.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

MetadataContainer
```
public interface Container
```
A container joins together global metadata with specific one or more plugin metadata.
How the vendor utilizes this concept is largely left up to their discretion. A typical use case would be to load a file as a container.
