/**
 * \class KCoreConfigSkeleton kcoreconfigskeleton.h <KCoreConfigSkeleton>
 *
 * @short Class for handling preferences settings for an application.
 * @author Cornelius Schumacher
 *
 * This class provides an interface to preferences settings. Preferences items
 * can be registered by the addItem() function corresponding to the data type of
 * the setting. KCoreConfigSkeleton then handles reading and writing of config files and
 * setting of default values.
 *
 * Normally you will subclass KCoreConfigSkeleton, add data members for the preferences
 * settings and register the members in the constructor of the subclass.
 *
 * Example:
 * \code
 * class MyPrefs : public KCoreConfigSkeleton
 * {
 *   public:
 *     MyPrefs()
 *     {
 *       setCurrentGroup("MyGroup");
 *       addItemBool("MySetting1", mMyBool, false);
 *       addItemPoint("MySetting2", mMyPoint, QPoint(100, 200));
 *
 *       setCurrentGroup("MyOtherGroup");
 *       addItemDouble("MySetting3", mMyDouble, 3.14);
 *     }
 *
 *     bool mMyBool;
 *     QPoint mMyPoint;
 *     double mMyDouble;
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * It might be convenient in many cases to make this subclass of KCoreConfigSkeleton a
 * singleton for global access from all over the application without passing
 * references to the KCoreConfigSkeleton object around.
 *
 * You can write the data to the configuration file by calling @ref save()
 * and read the data from the configuration file by calling @ref readConfig().
 * If you want to watch for config changes, use @ref configChanged() signal.
 *
 * If you have items, which are not covered by the existing addItem() functions
 * you can add customized code for reading, writing and default setting by
 * implementing the functions @ref usrUseDefaults(), @ref usrRead() and
 * @ref usrSave().
 *
 * Internally preferences settings are stored in instances of subclasses of
 * @ref KConfigSkeletonItem. You can also add KConfigSkeletonItem subclasses
 * for your own types and call the generic @ref addItem() to register them.
 *
 * In many cases you don't have to write the specific KCoreConfigSkeleton
 * subclasses yourself, but you can use \ref kconfig_compiler to automatically
 * generate the C++ code from an XML description of the configuration options.
 *
 * Use KConfigSkeleton if you need GUI types as well.
