   * \brief Interface for the document manager.
   *
   * This interface provides access to Kate's document manager. The document
   * manager manages all documents. Use document() get a given document,
   * activeDocument() to retrieve the active document. Check with isOpen()
   * whether an URL is opened and use findDocument() to get it. To get the
   * number of managed documents use documents().
   *
   * Open new documents with openUrl() and close a document with closeDocument()
   * or closeAllDocuments(). Several signals are provided, documentChanged() is
   * emitted whenever the document's content changed, documentCreated() when a
   * new document was created and documentDeleted() when a document was closed.
   *
   * To access the document manager use the global accessor function
   * documentManager() or Application::documentManager(). You should never have
   * to create an instance of this class yourself.
   *
