/** @file
* This header defines the LV2 URI Map extension with the URI
* <http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/uri-map> (preferred prefix 'lv2urimap').
*
* This extension defines a simple mechanism for plugins to map URIs to
* integers, usually for performance reasons (e.g. processing events
* typed by URIs in real time). The expected use case is for plugins to
* map URIs to integers for things they 'understand' at instantiation time,
* and store those values for use in the audio thread without doing any string
* comparison. This allows the extensibility of RDF with the performance of
* integers (or centrally defined enumerations).

* return value (e.g. limited range). This value may be NULL if
* the plugin needs an ID for a URI in general.
* @param uri The URI to be mapped to an integer ID.
*
* This function is referentially transparent - any number of calls with
* the same arguments is guaranteed to return the same value over the life
* of a plugin instance (though the same URI may return different values
* with a different map parameter). However, this function is not
* necessarily very fast: plugins should cache any IDs they might need in
* performance critical situations.
* The return value 0 is reserved and means an ID for that URI could not
* be created for whatever reason. Extensions may define more precisely
* what this means, but in general plugins should gracefully handle 0
* and consider whatever they wanted the URI for "unsupported".
