/**
 * Normal usage should be:
 *
 * - Plugins include vamp-sdk/Plugin.h or vamp-sdk/PluginBase.h.
 *   These files include this header, which specifies an appropriate
 *   namespace for the plugin classes to avoid any risk of conflict
 *   with non-plugin class implementations in the host on load.
 *
 * - Hosts include vamp-hostsdk/Plugin.h, vamp-hostsdk/PluginBase.h,
 *   vamp-hostsdk/PluginHostAdapter, vamp-hostsdk/PluginLoader.h etc.
 *   These files include vamp-hostsdk/hostguard.h, which makes a note
 *   that we are in a host.  A file such as vamp-hostsdk/Plugin.h
 *   then simply includes vamp-sdk/Plugin.h, and this guard header
 *   takes notice of the fact that it has been included from a host
 *   and leaves the plugin namespace unset.
 *
 * Problems will occur when a host includes files directly from the
 * vamp-sdk directory.  There are two reasons this might happen:
 * mistake, perhaps owing to ignorance of the fact that this isn't
 * allowed (particularly since it was the normal mechanism in v1 of
 * the SDK); and a wish to incorporate plugin code directly into the
 * host rather than having to load it.
 *
 * What if the host does include a vamp-sdk header by mistake?  We can
 * catch it if it's included before something from vamp-hostsdk.  If
 * it's included after something from vamp-hostsdk, it will work OK
 * anyway.  The remaining problem case is where nothing from
 * vamp-hostsdk is included in the same file.  We can't catch that.
