/**
 * @short Job that fetches items from the Akonadi storage.
 *
 * This class is used to fetch items from the Akonadi storage.
 * Which parts of the items (e.g. headers only, attachments or all)
 * can be specified by the ItemFetchScope.
 *
 * Note that ItemFetchJob does not refresh the Akonadi storage from the
 * backend; this is unnecessary due to the fact that backend updates
 * automatically trigger an update to the Akonadi database whenever they occur
 * (unless the resource is offline).
 *
 * Note that items can not be created in the root collection (Collection::root())
 * and therefore can not be fetched from there either. That is - an item fetch in
 * the root collection will yield an empty list.
 *
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * @code
 *
 * // Fetch all items with full payload from a collection
 *
 * const Collection collection = getCollection();
 *
 * Akonadi::ItemFetchJob *job = new Akonadi::ItemFetchJob(collection);
 * connect(job, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), SLOT(jobFinished(KJob*)));
 * job->fetchScope().fetchFullPayload();
 *
 * ...
 *
 * MyClass::jobFinished(KJob *job)
 * {
 *   if (job->error()) {
 *     qDebug() << "Error occurred";
 *     return;
 *   }
 *
 *   Akonadi::ItemFetchJob *fetchJob = qobject_cast<Akonadi::ItemFetchJob*>(job);
 *
 *   const Akonadi::Item::List items = fetchJob->items();
 *   foreach (const Akonadi::Item &item, items) {
 *     qDebug() << "Item ID:" << item.id();
 *   }
 * }
