    /**
     * Provides a registry of available Plugin classes indexed by a mnemonic code known as the Plugin's ptype.

     *
     *     {
     *         ptype: 'gridviewdragdrop',
     *         dragText: 'Drag and drop to reorganize'

     * Or just use the ptype on its own:
     *
     *     'gridviewdragdrop'
     *
     * Alternatively you can instantiate the plugin with Ext.create:
     *
     *     Ext.create('Ext.grid.plugin.DragDrop', {
     *         dragText: 'Drag and drop to reorganize'
