/**
 * The base class for all jobs.
 * For all jobs created in an application, the code looks like
 *
 * \code
 * void SomeClass::methodWithAsynchronousJobCall()
 * {
 *   KJob* job = someoperation(some parameters);
 *   connect(job, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)),
 *           this, SLOT(handleResult(KJob*)));
 *   job->start();
 * }
 * \endcode
 *   (other connects, specific to the job)
 *
 * And handleResult is usually at least:
 *
 * \code
 * void SomeClass::handleResult( KJob *job )
 * {
 *   if (job->error()) {
 *       doSomething();
 *   }
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * With the synchronous interface the code looks like
 *
 * \code
 * void SomeClass::methodWithSynchronousJobCall()
 * {
 *   KJob *job = someoperation( some parameters );
 *   if (!job->exec()) {
 *       // An error occurred
 *   } else {
 *       // Do something
 *   }
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Subclasses must implement start(), which should trigger
 * the execution of the job (although the work should be
 * done asynchronously). errorString() should also be
 * reimplemented by any subclasses that introduce new
 * error codes.
 *
 * @note: KJob and its subclasses are meant to be used
 * in a fire-and-forget way. Jobs will delete themselves
 * when they finish using deleteLater() (although this
 * behaviour can be changed), so a job instance will
 * disappear after the next event loop run.
