/**
 * @short Job that modifies an existing item in the Akonadi storage.
 *
 * This job is used to writing back items to the Akonadi storage, after
 * the user has changed them in any way.
 * For performance reasons either the full item (including the full payload)
 * can written back or only the meta data of the item.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * @code
 *
 * // Fetch item with unique id 125
 * Akonadi::ItemFetchJob *fetchJob = new Akonadi::ItemFetchJob( Akonadi::Item( 125 ) );
 * connect( fetchJob, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), SLOT(fetchFinished(KJob*)) );
 *
 * ...
 *
 * MyClass::fetchFinished( KJob *job )
 * {
 *   if ( job->error() )
 *     return;
 *
 *   Akonadi::ItemFetchJob *fetchJob = qobject_cast<Akonadi::ItemFetchJob*>( job );
 *
 *   Akonadi::Item item = fetchJob->items().at(0);
 *
 *   // Set a custom flag
 *   item.setFlag( "\GotIt" );
 *
 *   // Store back modified item
 *   Akonadi::ItemModifyJob *modifyJob = new Akonadi::ItemModifyJob( item );
 *   connect( modifyJob, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), SLOT(modifyFinished(KJob*)) );
 * }
 *
 * MyClass::modifyFinished( KJob *job )
 * {
 *   if ( job->error() )
 *     qDebug() << "Error occurred";
 *   else
 *     qDebug() << "Item modified successfully";
 * }
 *
 * @endcode
 *
 * <h3>Conflict Resolution</h3>
 
 * When the job is executed, a check is made to ensure that the Item contained
 * in the job is not older than the version of the Item already held in the
 * Akonadi database. If it is older, a conflict resolution dialog is displayed
 * for the user to choose which version of the Item to use, unless
 * disableAutomaticConflictHandling() has been called to disable the dialog, or
 * disableRevisionCheck() has been called to disable version checking
 * altogether.
 *
 * The item version is checked by comparing the Item::revision() values in the
 * job and in the database. To ensure that two successive ItemModifyJobs for
 * the same Item work correctly, the revision number of the Item supplied to
 * the second ItemModifyJob should be set equal to the Item's revision number
 * on completion of the first ItemModifyJob. This can be obtained by, for
 * example, calling item().revision() in the job's result slot.
