+ * This file re-exports only those Kibana types that we'd like plugins to have access to.
+ *
+ * Generated types are referenced from the `types` field of the Kibana's `package.json`, so
+ * that plugins can just reference Kibana root folder to access all required types.
+ *
+ * Here is an example of how plugin can use these types assuming it is located
+ * in one of the known plugin locations (kibana/plugins/* or kibana-extra/*):
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * import { KibanaPlugin } from '../../kibana';
+ *
+ * export interface SomePluginContract {
+ *   setValue: (val: string) => void;
+ * }
+ *
+ * class SomePlugin extends KibanaPlugin<SomePluginContract> {
+ *   start(core) {
+ *     let value = 'Hello World!';
+ *
+ *     const router = core.http.createAndRegisterRouter('/some-path');
+ *     router.get('/some-value', (req, res) => res.ok(value));
+ *
+ *     return { setValue: (val: string) => { value = val; } };
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * **NOTE:** If the code is not needed in plugins, we can add a `at_internal` JSDoc
+ * annotation to that code. And since we've specified the `stripInternal` compiler
+ * option TypeScript will not emit declarations for this code.
