  26   * The import_strategy interface.
  27   *
  28   * This provides a contract allowing different import strategies to be implemented.
  29   *
  30   * An import_strategy encapsulates the logic used to prepare a remote_resource for import into Moodle in some way and is used by the
  31   * import_processor (to perform aforementioned preparations) before it hands control of the import over to a course module plugin.
  32   *
  33   * We may wish to have many strategies because the preparation steps may vary depending on how the resource is to be treated.
  34   * E.g. We may wish to import as a file in which case download steps will be required, or we may simply wish to import the remote
  35   * resource as a link, in which cases setup steps will not require any file download.
