/**
 * @class KEncodingProber kencodingprober.h KEncodingProber
 *
 * @short Provides encoding detection(probe) capabilities.
 *
 * Probe the encoding of raw data only.
 * In the case it can't find it, return the most possible encoding it guessed.
 *
 * Always do Unicode probe regardless the ProberType
 *
 * Feed data to it several times with feed() until ProberState changes to FoundIt/NotMe,
 * or confidence() returns a value you find acceptable.
 *
 * Intended lifetime of the object: one instance per ProberType.
 *
 * Typical use:
 * \code
 * QByteArray data, moredata;
 * ...
 * KEncodingProber prober(KEncodingProber::Chinese);
 * prober.feed(data);
 * prober.feed(moredata);
 * if (prober.confidence() > 0.6)
 *    QString out = QTextCodec::codecForName(prober.encoding())->toUnicode(data);
 * \endcode
 *
 * At least 256 characters are needed to change the ProberState from Probing to FoundIt.
 * If you don't have so many characters to probe,
 * decide whether to accept the encoding it guessed so far according to the Confidence by yourself.
 *
 * @short Guess encoding of char array
