/**
 * @class ListingFilterExtension listingfilterextension.h <KParts/ListingFilterExtension>
 *
 * @short An extension for filtering listings.
 *
 * This extension is intended to be implemented by parts that provide listing
 * services, e.g. file management parts and is intended to provide a generic
 * API for filtering any listing through keywords, wildcard characters and/or
 * content-type.
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 * To show items that only match the term "kde"
 * \code
 *    KParts::ListingFilterExtension* ext = KParts::ListingFilterExtension::childObject(part);
 *    if (ext && (ext->supportedFilterModes() & KParts::ListingFilterExtension::SubString)) {
 *       ext->setFilter(KParts::ListingFilterExtension::SubString, QLatin1String("kde"));
 *    }
 * \endcode
 *
 * To show items that only match "text/html"
 * \code
 *    KParts::ListingFilterExtension* ext = KParts::ListingFilterExtension::childObject(part);
 *    if (ext && (ext->supportedFilterModes() & KParts::ListingFilterExtension::MimeType)) {
 *        ext->setFilter(KParts::ListingFilterExtension::MimeType, QLatin1String("text/html"));
 *    }
 * \endcode
 *
 * To show items that only match the wildcard string "*.txt"
 * \code
 *    KParts::ListingFilterExtension* ext = KParts::ListingFilterExtension::childObject(part);
 *    if (ext && (ext->supportedFilterModes() & KParts::ListingFilterExtension::WildCard)) {
 *        ext->setFilter(KParts::ListingFilterExtension::WildCard, QLatin1String("*.txt"));
 *    }
 * \endcode
 *
 * To show items that match multiple mime types, e.g. text/html & application/xml:
 *
 * \code
 *    KParts::ListingFilterExtension* ext = KParts::ListingFilterExtension::childObject(part);
 *    if (ext &&
 *        (ext->supportedFilterModes() & KParts::ListingFilterExtension::MimeType) &&
 *        ext->supportsMultipleFilters(KParts::ListingFilterExtension::MimeType)) {
 *        QStringList mimeTypes = ext->filter(KParts::ListingFilterExtension::MimeType).toStringList();
 *        mimeTypes << QLatin1String("text/html") << QLatin1String("application/xml");
 *        ext->setFilter(KParts::ListingFilterExtension::MimeType, mimeTypes);
 *    }
 * \endcode
 *
 * @since 4.9.2
