/** \ingroup core
 * This class wraps a request for features to a vector layer (or directly its vector data provider).
 * The request may apply a filter to fetch only a particular subset of features. Currently supported filters:
 * - no filter - all features are returned
 * - feature id - only feature that matches given feature id is returned
 * - feature ids - only features that match any of the given feature ids are returned
 * - filter expression - only features that match the given filter expression are returned
 *
 * Additionally a spatial rectangle can be set in combination:
 * Only features that intersect given rectangle should be fetched. For the sake of speed,
 * the intersection is often done only using feature's bounding box. There is a flag
 * ExactIntersect that makes sure that only intersecting features will be returned.
 *
 * For efficiency, it is also possible to tell provider that some data is not required:
 * - NoGeometry flag
 * - SubsetOfAttributes flag
 * - SimplifyMethod for geometries to fetch
 *
 * The options may be chained, e.g.:
 *   QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterRect(QgsRectangle(0,0,1,1)).setFlags(QgsFeatureRequest::ExactIntersect)
 *
 * Examples:
 * - fetch all features:
 *     QgsFeatureRequest()
 * - fetch all features, only one attribute
 *     QgsFeatureRequest().setSubsetOfAttributes(QStringList("myfield"), provider->fieldMap())
 * - fetch all features, without geometries
 *     QgsFeatureRequest().setFlags(QgsFeatureRequest::NoGeometry)
 * - fetch only features from particular extent
 *     QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterRect(QgsRectangle(0,0,1,1))
 * - fetch only one feature
 *     QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterFid(45)
 *

     * The OrderByClause class represents an order by clause for a QgsFeatureRequest.

     * It can be a simple field or an expression. Multiple order by clauses can be added to
     * a QgsFeatureRequest to fine tune the behavior if a single field or expression is not
     * enough to completely specify the required behavior.
     *
     * If expression compilation is activated in the settings and the expression can be
     * translated for the provider in question, it will be evaluated on provider side.
     * If one of these two premises does not apply, the ordering will take place locally
     * which results in increased memory and CPU usage.
     *
     * If the ordering is done on strings, the order depends on the system's locale if the
     * local fallback implementation is used. The order depends on the server system's locale
     * and implementation if ordering is done on the server.
     *
     * In case the fallback code needs to be used, a limit set on the request will be respected
     * for the features returned by the iterator but internally all features will be requested
     * from the provider.
