/**
 * @todo Update for 8.x-1.x
 *
 * It may be helpful to review some examples of integration from
 * pathauto.pathauto.inc.
 *
 * Pathauto works by using tokens in path patterns.  Thus the simplest
 * integration is just to provide tokens.  Token support is provided by Drupal
 * core. To provide additional token from your module, implement the following
 * hooks:
 *
 * hook_tokens() - http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_tokens
 * hook_token_info() - http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_token_info
 *
 * If you wish to provide pathauto integration for custom paths provided by your
 * module, there are a few steps involved.
 *
 * 1. hook_pathauto()
 *    Provide information required by pathauto for the settings form as well as
 *    bulk generation.  See the documentation for hook_pathauto() for more
 *    details.
 *
 * 2. pathauto_create_alias()
 *    At the appropriate time (usually when a new item is being created for
 *    which a generated alias is desired), call pathauto_create_alias() with the
 *    appropriate parameters to generate and create the alias. See the user,
 *    taxonomy, and node hook implementations in pathauto.module for examples.
 *    Also see the documentation for pathauto_create_alias().
 *
 * 3. pathauto_path_delete_all()
 *    At the appropriate time (usually when an item is being deleted), call
 *    pathauto_path_delete_all() to remove any aliases that were created for the
 *    content being removed.  See the documentation for
 *    pathauto_path_delete_all() for more details.
 *
 * 4. hook_path_alias_types()
 *    For modules that create new types of content that can be aliased with
 *    pathauto, a hook implementation is needed to allow the user to delete them
 *    all at once.  See the documentation for hook_path_alias_types() below for
 *    more information.
 *
 * There are other integration points with pathauto, namely alter hooks that
 * allow you to change the data used by pathauto at various points in the
 * process.  See the below hook documentation for details.
