documentation for writing language plugins

I don't know any docs about that - usually the best way is to look at
other languages.
Cpp is quite complex - so it is best to take java and php as examples.

For code completion you need everything java and php have in codecompletion/.
(that includes function overloading helper)

For declaration renaming you just need to build the uses correctly -
the rest happens magically.

For other code generation (create class) the framework is not ready to
use, it is only used
for c++ for now and needs some love for other languages.
