/**
 * @short A model for collections and items together.
 *
 * Akonadi models and views provide a high level way to interact with the akonadi server.
 * Most applications will use these classes.
 *
 * Models provide an interface for viewing, updating, deleting and moving Items and Collections.
 * Additionally, the models are updated automatically if another application changes the
 * data or inserts of deletes items etc.
 *
 * @note The EntityTreeModel should be used with the EntityTreeView or the EntityListView class
 * either directly or indirectly via proxy models.
 *
 * <h3>Retrieving Collections and Items from the model</h3>
 *
 * If you want to retrieve and Item or Collection from the model, and already have a valid
 * QModelIndex for the correct row, the Collection can be retrieved like this:
 *
 * @code
 * Collection col = index.data( EntityTreeModel::CollectionRole ).value<Collection>();
 * @endcode
 *
 * And similarly for Items. This works even if there is a proxy model between the calling code
 * and the EntityTreeModel.
 *
 * If you want to retrieve a Collection for a particular Collection::Id  and you do not yet
 * have a valid QModelIndex, use modelIndexForCollection.
 *
 * <h3>Using EntityTreeModel in your application</h3>
 *
 * The responsibilities which fall to the application developer are
 * - Configuring the ChangeRecorder and EntityTreeModel
 * - Making use of this class via proxy models
 * - Subclassing for type specific display information
 *
 * <h3>Creating and configuring the EntityTreeModel</h3>
 *
 * This class is a wrapper around a Akonadi::ChangeRecorder object. The model represents a
 * part of the collection and item tree configured in the ChangeRecorder. The structure of the
 * model mirrors the structure of Collections and Items on the %Akonadi server.
 *
 * The following code creates a model which fetches items and collections relevant to
 * addressees (contacts), and automatically manages keeping the items up to date.
 *
 * @code
 *
 *   ChangeRecorder *changeRecorder = new ChangeRecorder( this );
 *   changeRecorder->setCollectionMonitored( Collection::root() );
 *   changeRecorder->setMimeTypeMonitored( KABC::addresseeMimeType() );
 *   changeRecorder->setSession( session );
 *
 *   EntityTreeModel *model = new EntityTreeModel( changeRecorder, this );
 *
 *   EntityTreeView *view = new EntityTreeView( this );
 *   view->setModel( model );
 *
 * @endcode
 *
 * The EntityTreeModel will show items of a different type by changing the line
 *
 * @code
 * changeRecorder->setMimeTypeMonitored( KABC::addresseeMimeType() );
 * @endcode
 *
 * to a different mimetype. KABC::addresseeMimeType() is an alias for "text/directory". If changed to KMime::Message::mimeType()
 * (an alias for "message/rfc822") the model would instead contain emails. The model can be configured to contain items of any mimetype
 * known to %Akonadi.
 *
 * @note The EntityTreeModel does some extra configuration on the Monitor, such as setting itemFetchScope() and collectionFetchScope()
 * to retrieve all ancestors. This is necessary for proper function of the model.
 *
 * @see Akonadi::ItemFetchScope::AncestorRetrieval.
 *
 * @see akonadi-mimetypes.
 *
 * The EntityTreeModel can be further configured for certain behaviours such as fetching of collections and items.
 *
 * The model can be configured to not fetch items into the model (ie, fetch collections only) by setting
 *
 * @code
 * entityTreeModel->setItemPopulationStrategy( EntityTreeModel::NoItemPopulation );
 * @endcode
 *
 * The items may be fetched lazily, i.e. not inserted into the model until request by the user for performance reasons.
 *
 * The Collection tree is always built immediately if Collections are to be fetched.
 *
 * @code
 * entityTreeModel->setItemPopulationStrategy( EntityTreeModel::LazyPopulation );
 * @endcode
 *
 * This will typically be used with a EntityMimeTypeFilterModel in a configuration such as KMail4.5 or AkonadiConsole.
 *
 * The CollectionFetchStrategy determines how the model will be populated with Collections. That is, if FetchNoCollections is set,
 * no collections beyond the root of the model will be fetched. This can be used in combination with setting a particular Collection to monitor.
 *
 * @code
 * // Get an collection id from a config file.
 * Collection::Id id;
 * monitor->setCollectionMonitored( Collection( id ) );
 * // ... Other initialization code.
 * entityTree->setCollectionFetchStrategy( FetchNoCollections );
 * @endcode
 *
 * This has the effect of creating a model of only a list of Items, and not collections. This is similar in behaviour and aims to the ItemModel.
 * By using FetchFirstLevelCollections instead, a mixed list of entities can be created.
 *
 * @note It is important that you set only one Collection to be monitored in the monitor object. This one collection will be the root of the tree.
 * If you need a model with a more complex structure, consider monitoring a common ancestor and using a SelectionProxyModel.
 *
 * @see lazy-model-population
 *
 * It is also possible to show the root Collection as part of the selectable model:
 *
 * @code
 * entityTree->setIncludeRootCollection( true );
 * @endcode
 *
 *
 * By default the displayed name of the root collection is '[*]', because it doesn't require i18n, and is generic. It can be changed too.
 *
 * @code
 * entityTree->setIncludeRootCollection( true );
 * entityTree->setRootCollectionDisplayName( i18nc( "Name of top level for all addressbooks in the application", "[All AddressBooks]" ) )
 * @endcode
 *
 * This feature is used in KAddressBook.
 *
 * If items are to be fetched by the model, it is necessary to specify which parts of the items
 * are to be fetched, using the ItemFetchScope class. By default, only the basic metadata is
 * fetched. To fetch all item data, including all attributes:
 *
 * @code
 * changeRecorder->itemFetchScope().fetchFullPayload();
 * changeRecorder->itemFetchScope().fetchAllAttributes();
 * @endcode
 *
 * <h2>Using EntityTreeModel with Proxy models</h2>
 *
 * An Akonadi::SelectionProxyModel can be used to simplify managing selection in one view through multiple proxy models to a representation in another view.
 * The selectionModel of the initial view is used to create a proxied model which filters out anything not related to the current selection.
 *
 * @code
 * // ... create an EntityTreeModel
 *
 * collectionTree = new EntityMimeTypeFilterModel( this );
 * collectionTree->setSourceModel( entityTreeModel );
 *
 * // Include only collections in this proxy model.
 * collectionTree->addMimeTypeInclusionFilter( Collection::mimeType() );
 * collectionTree->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel::CollectionTreeHeaders );
 *
 * treeview->setModel(collectionTree);
 *
 * // SelectionProxyModel can handle complex selections:
 * treeview->setSelectionMode( QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelection );
 *
 * SelectionProxyModel *selProxy = new SelectionProxyModel( treeview->selectionModel(), this );
 * selProxy->setSourceModel( entityTreeModel );
 *
 * itemList = new EntityMimeTypeFilterModel( this );
 * itemList->setSourceModel( selProxy );
 *
 * // Filter out collections. Show only items.
 * itemList->addMimeTypeExclusionFilter( Collection::mimeType() );
 * itemList->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel::ItemListHeaders );
 *
 * EntityTreeView *itemView = new EntityTreeView( splitter );
 * itemView->setModel( itemList );
 * @endcode
 *
 * The SelectionProxyModel can handle complex selections.
 *
 * See the KSelectionProxyModel documentation for the valid configurations of a Akonadi::SelectionProxyModel.
 *
 * Obviously, the SelectionProxyModel may be used in a view, or further processed with other proxy models. Typically, the result
 * from this model will be further filtered to remove collections from the item list as in the above example.
 *
 * There are several advantages of using EntityTreeModel with the SelectionProxyModel, namely the items can be fetched and cached
 * instead of being fetched many times, and the chain of proxies from the core model to the view is automatically handled. There is
 * no need to manage all the mapToSource and mapFromSource calls manually.
 *
 * A KDescendantsProxyModel can be used to represent all descendants of a model as a flat list.
 * For example, to show all descendant items in a selected Collection in a list:
 * @code
 * collectionTree = new EntityMimeTypeFilterModel( this );
 * collectionTree->setSourceModel( entityTreeModel );
 *
 * // Include only collections in this proxy model.
 * collectionTree->addMimeTypeInclusionFilter( Collection::mimeType() );
 * collectionTree->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel::CollectionTreeHeaders );
 *
 * treeview->setModel( collectionTree );
 *
 * SelectionProxyModel *selProxy = new SelectionProxyModel( treeview->selectionModel(), this );
 * selProxy->setSourceModel( entityTreeModel );
 *
 * descendedList = new DescendantEntitiesProxyModel( this );
 * descendedList->setSourceModel( selProxy );
 *
 * itemList = new EntityMimeTypeFilterModel( this );
 * itemList->setSourceModel( descendedList );
 *
 * // Exclude collections from the list view.
 * itemList->addMimeTypeExclusionFilter( Collection::mimeType() );
 * itemList->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel::ItemListHeaders );
 *
 * listView = new EntityTreeView( this );
 * listView->setModel( itemList );
 * @endcode
 *
 *
 * Note that it is important in this case to use the DescendantEntitesProxyModel before the EntityMimeTypeFilterModel.
 * Otherwise, by filtering out the collections first, you would also be filtering out their child items.
 *
 * This pattern is used in KAddressBook.
 *
 * It would not make sense to use a KDescendantsProxyModel with LazyPopulation.
 *
 * <h3>Subclassing EntityTreeModel</h3>
 *
 * Usually an application will create a subclass of an EntityTreeModel and use that in several views via proxy models.
 *
 * The subclassing is necessary in order for the data in the model to have type-specific representation in applications
 *
 * For example, the headerData for an EntityTreeModel will be different depending on whether it is in a view showing only Collections
 * in which case the header data should be "AddressBooks" for example, or only Items, in which case the headerData would be
 * for example "Family Name", "Given Name" and "Email addres" for contacts or "Subject", "Sender", "Date" in the case of emails.
 *
 * Additionally, the actual data shown in the rows of the model should be type specific.
 *
 * In summary, it must be possible to have different numbers of columns, different data in hte rows of those columns, and different
 * titles for each column depending on the contents of the view.
 *
 * The way this is accomplished is by using the EntityMimeTypeFilterModel for splitting the model into a "CollectionTree" and an "Item List"
 * as in the above example, and using a type-specific EntityTreeModel subclass to return the type-specific data, typically for only one type (for example, contacts or emails).
 *
 * The following protected virtual methods should be implemented in the subclass:
 * - int entityColumnCount( HeaderGroup headerGroup ) const;
 * -- Implement to return the number of columns for a HeaderGroup. If the HeaderGroup is CollectionTreeHeaders, return the number of columns to display for the
 *    Collection tree, and if it is ItemListHeaders, return the number of columns to display for the item. In the case of addressee, this could be for example,
 *    two (for given name and family name) or for emails it could be three (for subject, sender, date). This is a decision of the subclass implementor.
 * - QVariant entityHeaderData( int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role, HeaderGroup headerGroup ) const;
 * -- Implement to return the data for each section for a HeaderGroup. For example, if the header group is CollectionTreeHeaders in a contacts model,
 *    the string "Address books" might be returned for column 0, whereas if the headerGroup is ItemListHeaders, the strings "Given Name", "Family Name",
 *    "Email Address" might be returned for the columns 0, 1, and 2.
 * - QVariant entityData( const Collection &collection, int column, int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const;
 * -- Implement to return data for a particular Collection. Typically this will be the name of the collection or the EntityDisplayAttribute.
 * - QVariant entityData( const Item &item, int column, int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const;
 * -- Implement to return the data for a particular item and column. In the case of email for example, this would be the actual subject, sender and date of the email.
 *
 * @note The entityData methods are just for convenience. the QAbstractItemMOdel::data method can be overridden if required.
 *
 * The application writer must then properly configure proxy models for the views, so that the correct data is shown in the correct view.
 * That is the purpose of these lines in the above example
 *
 * @code
 * collectionTree->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel::CollectionTreeHeaders );
 * itemList->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel::ItemListHeaders );
 * @endcode
 *
 * <h3>Progress reporting</h3>
 *
 * The EntityTreeModel uses asynchronous Akonadi::Job instances to fill and update itself.
 * For example, a job is run to fetch the contents of collections (that is, list the items in it).
 * Additionally, individual Akonadi::Items can be fetched in different parts at different times.
 *
 * To indicate that such a job is underway, the EntityTreeModel makes the FetchState available. The
 * FetchState returned from a QModelIndex representing a Akonadi::Collection will be FetchingState if a
 * listing of the items in that collection is underway, otherwise the state is IdleState.
