-    Pygments plugin interface. By default, this tries to use
-    ``importlib.metadata``, which is in the Python standard
-    library since Python 3.8, or its ``importlib_metadata``
-    backport for earlier versions of Python. It falls back on
-    ``pkg_resources`` if not found. Finally, if ``pkg_resources``
-    is not found either, no plugins are loaded at all.
