/*! \brief The base class representing a single property
 
  KProperty object can hold a property of given type supported by QVariant. Properties of custom types
  can be also created, see using KPropertyFactory. Composed or custom properties
  are not created using subclassing of KProperty but using @ref KComposedPropertyInterface.
 
  Each property stores old value to allows undoing that reverts the value to the old one.
  Property has a non-empty name (a QByteArray), a caption that is user-visible translated string
  displayed in property editor. Description is a translatable string that can be specified too
  in order to further explain meaning of the property.
 
  Propery also supports setting arbitrary number of options using KProperty::setOption() that allow
  to customize look or behavior of the property in the editor.
 
  @code
  // Creating a simple property:
  KProperty *property = new KProperty(name, value, caption, description);
  // name is a QByteArray, value is whatever type QVariant supports
 
  // Creating a property of type ValueFromList matching keys with names:
  QStringList keys({"one", "two", "three"}); // possible values of the property
  QStringList names({tr("One"), tr("Two"), tr("Three")}); // Names (possibly translated) shown in
                                                          // the editor instead of the keys
  property = new KProperty(name, new KPropertyListData(keys, names), "two", caption);
 
  // Creating a property of type ValueFromList matching variant keys with names:
  KPropertyListData *listData = new KPropertyListData({1.1, tr("One")}, {2.5, tr("Two")}, {3., tr("Three")}});
  propertySet->addProperty(new KProperty("List", listData, "otheritem", "List"));
  @endcode
 
  @note Sometimes it makes sense to split property captions that have with more words to multiple lines
  using a newline character, e.g. "Allow Zero Size" to "Allow Zero\nSize".
  This is suitable especially for the needs of property editor which can offer only limited area.
  The text of property caption containing newline characters is available in its original form using
  KProperty::captionForDisplaying(). KProperty::caption() returns modified caption text in which
  the newline characters are substituted with spaces and any trailing and leading whitespace is removed.

     Options are used to override default settings of individual properties.

     To unset given option, call setOption() with a null QVariant value.
 
    Currently supported options are:
    <ul>
    <li> min: value describing minimum value for properties of integer, double,
         date, date/time and time types. Default is 0 for double and unsigned integer types,
         -INT_MAX for signed integer type.
         Defaults for date, date/time and time types are specified in documentation
         of QDateEdit::minimumDate, QDateTimeEdit::minimumDateTime and QTime::minimumTime, respectively.
         The value specified for this option is accepted if:
         - it is not larger than the value of the "max" option
         - it is not smaller than KPROPERTY_MIN_PRECISE_DOUBLE (for double type)
         - it is not smaller than -INT_MAX (for integer type)
         - it is not smaller than 0 (for unsigned integer type).
         </li>
    <li> minValueText: user-visible translated string to be displayed in editor for integer,
         double, date, date/time and time types when the value is equal to the value of
         "min" option.
         The value specified for this option is accepted if min option is supported for given type
         and is specified.
         @see QAbstractSpinBox::specialValueText</li>
    <li> max: value describing minimum value for properties of integer type.
         Default is KPROPERTY_MAX_PRECISE_DOUBLE for double type (maximum precise value)
         and INT_MAX for integer type.
         Defaults for date, date/time and time types are specified in documentation
         of QDateEdit::maximumDate, QDateTimeEdit::maximumDateTime and QTime::maximumTime, respectively.
         The value is ignored if it is smaller than the value of "min" option. </li>
         The value specified for this option is accepted if:
         - it is not smaller than the value of the "min" option
         - it is not larger than KPROPERTY_MAX_PRECISE_DOUBLE (for double type)
         - it is not larger than INT_MAX (for integer and unsigned integer type).
         </li>
    <li> precision: integer value >= 0 describing the number of decimals after the decimal
         point for double type. Default value is 2.
         @see QDoubleSpinBox::decimals</li>
    <li> step: double value > 0.0 describing the size of the step that is taken when
         the user hits the up or down button of editor for double type. Default value is 0.01.
         @see QDoubleSpinBox::singleStep</li>
    <li> 3State: boolean value used for boolean type; if @c true, the editor becomes a combobox
         (instead of checkable button) and accepts the third "null" state. Otherwise the boolean
         type only accepts @c true and @c false values, anything other, including invalid and null
         values, is converted to @c false.</li>
    <li> yesName: user-visible translated string used for boolean type (both 2- and 3-state)
         to visually represent the "true" value. If not present, tr("Yes") is used.</li>
    <li> noName: user-visible translated string used for boolean type (both 2- and 3-state)
         to visually represent the "false" value. If not present, tr("No") is used.</li>
    <li> 3rdStateName: user-visible translated string used for boolean type (both 2- and 3-state)
         to visually represent the third "null" value. If not present, tr("None") is used.</li>
    <li> nullName: user-visible translated string used for boolean type to display the "null"
         value, if and only if the property accepts two states (i.e. when "3State" option
         is @c false). If the "nullName" option is not set, null values are displayed as
         @c false.</li>
    <li> extraValueAllowed: boolean value, if @c true the user is able to manually add extra
         values to a combobox.</li>
    <li> fileMode: string value that describes types of objects that can be selected by the url
         editor:
         <ul>
         <li>"dirsOnly": only display and allow to select existing directories;
             @see QFileDialog::getExistingDirectoryUrl()</li>
         <li>"existingFile": only allow to select one existing file for opening, i.e. confirmation
             of overwriting is not performed;
             @see QFileDialog::getOpenFileUrl()</li>
         <li>Any other value: any file is supported, whether it exists or not; if the file exists,
             "confirmOverwrites" option is honored; this mode is the only one supporting non-file
             protocols such as ftp or http; to use them user has to enter them explicitly,
             file protocol is still the default
             @see QFileDialog::getSaveFileUrl()</li>
         </ul>
         @note Empty URLs are always allowed.
         </li>
    <li> confirmOverwrites: boolean value supported by the url editor; if @c true and the "fileMode"
         option is not equal to "existingFile" nor "dirsOnly" user will be asked for confirmation
         of file overwriting if selected file exists. @c false by default.
         @note The line edit does not validate the content.</li>
    <li> multiLine: boolean value used for string type. If @c true, a multi-line
         QPlainTextEdit-based widget is used for editor; otherwise a single-line QLineEdit
         widget is used. @c false by default. Added in version 3.1.</li>
    <li>prefix: string to display before the value, e.g. '$'. Supported for double and integer
        types and composed types based on double and integer types (Point*, Size*, Rect*).
        @see QDoubleSpinBox::prefix QSpinBox::prefix</li>
    <li>suffix: string to display after the value, e.g. unit such as 'mm'.
        Supported for double and integer types and composed types based on double and
        integer types (Point*, Size*, Rect*). Note that only display is affected, value
        is not converted to any unit.
