/**
  @brief
  A class that encapsulates @ref MIME encoded Content.
 
  A Content object holds two representations of a content:
  - the string representation: This is the content encoded as a string ready
    for transport.  Accessible through the encodedContent() method.
  - the broken-down representation: This is the tree of objects (headers,
    sub-Contents and (if present) the encapsulated message) that this Content is made of.
    Accessible through methods like header(), contents() and bodyAsMessage().
 
  The parse() function updates the broken-down representation of the Content
  from its string representation.  Calling it is necessary to access the
  headers, sub-Contents or the encapsulated message of this Content.
 
  The assemble() function updates the string representation of the Content
  from its broken-down representation.  Calling it is necessary for
  encodedContent() to reflect any changes made to the broken-down representation of the Content.
 
  There are two basic types of a Content:
  - A leaf Content: This is a content that is neither a multipart content nor an encapsulated
                    message. Because of this, it will not have any children, it has no sub-contents
                    and is therefore a leaf content.
                    Only leaf contents have a body that is not empty, i.e. functions that operate
                    on the body, such as body(), size() and decodedContent(), will work only on
                    leaf contents.
  - A non-leaf Content: This is a content that itself doesn't have any body, but that does have
                        sub-contents.
                        This is the case for contents that are of mimetype multipart/ or of mimetype
                        message/rfc822. In case of a multipart content, contents() will return the
                        multipart child contents. In case of an encapsulated message, the message
                        can be accessed with bodyAsMessage(), and contents() will have one entry
                        that is the message as well.
                        On a non-leaf content, body() will have an empty return value and other
                        functions working on the body will not work.
                        A call to parse() is required before the child multipart contents or the
                        encapsulated message is created.
