xl : General utilities for XL plugins

The lino.modlib.xl plugin is installed in every application that uses at least one Lino XL plugin. It does not define any models, but a locale directory with translation messages for Django.

It also adds some utilities.

See also About plugin libraries.

This document contains code snippets (lines starting with >>>) that get tested as part of our development workflow.

>>> from lino import startup
>>> startup('lino_book.projects.min1.settings')
>>> from lino.api.doctest import *

Which means that code snippets in this document are tested using the lino_book.projects.min1 demo project.
