A LabelProviderContribution determines how specific elements/nodes are displayed in the workbench. Theia views use a common LabelProvider to determine the label and/or an icon for elements shown in the UI. This includes elements in lists and trees, but also view specific locations like headers. The common LabelProvider collects all {@links LabelProviderContribution} and delegates to the contribution with the highest priority. This is determined via calling the LabelProviderContribution.canHandle function, so contributions define which elements they are responsible for. As arbitrary views can consume LabelProviderContributions, they must be generic for the covered element type, not view specific. Label providers and contributions can be used for arbitrary element and node types, e.g. for markers or domain-specific elements.
