  @brief Object for saving and restoring state in QTreeViews and QItemSelectionModels
 
  Implement the indexFromConfigString and indexToConfigString methods to handle
  the model in the view whose state is being saved. These implementations can be
  quite trivial:
 
  @code
    QModelIndex DynamicTreeStateSaver::indexFromConfigString(const QAbstractItemModel* model,
                                                             const QString& key) const
    {
        QModelIndexList list = model->match(model->index(0, 0),
                                            DynamicTreeModel::DynamicTreeModelId,
                                            key.toInt(), 1, Qt::MatchRecursive);
        if (list.isEmpty()) {
            return QModelIndex();
        }
        return list.first();
    }
 
    QString DynamicTreeStateSaver::indexToConfigString(const QModelIndex& index) const
    {
        return index.data(DynamicTreeModel::DynamicTreeModelId).toString();
    }
  @endcode
 
  It is possible to restore the state of a QTreeView (that is, the expanded state and
  selected state of all indexes as well as the horizontal and vertical scroll state) by
  using setTreeView.
 
  If there is no tree view state to restore (for example if using QML), the selection
  state of a QItemSelectionModel can be saved or restored instead.
 
  The state of any QAbstractScrollArea can also be saved and restored.
 
  A KViewStateSerializer should be created on the stack when saving and on the heap
  when restoring. The model may be populated dynamically between several event loops,
  so it may not be immediate for the indexes that should be selected to be in the model.
  The saver should *not* be persisted as a member. The saver will destroy itself when it
  has completed the restoration specified in the config group, or a small amount of time
  has elapsed.
 
  @code
    MyWidget::MyWidget(Qobject *parent)
      : QWidget(parent)
    {
        ...
 
        m_view = new QTreeView(splitter);
        m_view->setModel(model);
 
        connect(model, &QAbstractItemModel::modelAboutToBeReset, this, [this]() { saveState(); });
        connect(model, &QAbstractItemModel::modelReset, [this]() { restoreState(); });
        connect(qApp, &QApplication::aboutToQuit, this, [this]() { saveState(); });
 
        restoreState();
    }
 
    void StateSaverWidget::saveState()
    {
        ConcreteStateSaver saver;
        saver.setTreeView(m_view);
 
        KConfigGroup cfg(KSharedConfig::openConfig(), "ExampleViewState");
        saver.saveState(cfg);
        cfg.sync();
    }
 
    void StateSaverWidget::restoreState()
    {
        // Will delete itself.
        ConcreteTreeStateSaver *saver = new ConcreteStateSaver();
        saver->setTreeView(m_view);
        KConfigGroup cfg(KSharedConfig::openConfig(), "ExampleViewState");
        saver->restoreState(cfg);
    }
  @endcode
 
  After creating a saver, the state can be saved using a KConfigGroup.
 
  It is also possible to save and restore state directly by using the restoreSelection,
  restoreExpanded etc methods. Note that the implementation of these methods should return
  strings that the indexFromConfigString implementation can handle.
 
  @code
    class DynamicTreeStateSaver : public KViewStateSerializer
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
      // ...
 
        void selectItems(const QList<qint64> &items)
        {
            QStringList itemStrings;
            for (qint64 item : items) {
                itemStrings << QString::number(item);
            }
            restoreSelection(itemStrings);
        }
 
        void expandItems(const QList<qint64> &items)
        {
            QStringList itemStrings;
            for (qint64 item : items) {
                itemStrings << QString::number(item);
            }
            restoreSelection(itemStrings);
        }
    };
  @endcode
 
  Note that a single instance of this class should be used with only one widget.
  That is don't do this:
 
  @code
    saver->setTreeView(treeView1);
    saver->setSelectionModel(treeView2->selectionModel());
    saver->setScrollArea(treeView3);
  @endcode
 
  To save the state of 3 different widgets, use three savers, even if they operate
  on the same root model.
 
  @code
    saver1->setTreeView(treeView1);
    saver2->setSelectionModel(treeView2->selectionModel());
    saver3->setScrollArea(treeView3);
  @endcode
 
  @note The KViewStateSerializer does not take ownership of any widgets set on it.
 
  It is recommended to restore the state on application startup and after the
  model has been reset, and to save the state on application close and before
  the model has been reset.
