 /**
  * @short A class to allow users of libkiten to properly setup a database
  * query.
  *
  * In general, you either pass or parse in parameters from users or automated
  * programs to be later sent to the dictionary manager.
  *
  * This class is one of the three critical classes (along with
  * dictionary and EntryList) that are needed to use libkiten. Essentially...
  * you feed the dictionary class a DictQuery, and dictionary will return an
  * EntryList that matches the query.
  *
  * @code
  * dictionary dictManager();
  * //Load some dictionaries via dictionary class methods
  * EntryList *results;
  * DictQuery myQuery("kanji");
  * results = dictManager.doSearch(myQuery);
  * //Print results (if any)
  * @endcode
  *
  * The internal implementation understands four distinct types of data:
  * Japanese Kanji
  * Japanese Kana
  * English Characters
  * Property Pairs of the form \<i\>name\</i\>:\<i\>value\</i\>
  *
  * It is left up to the individual dictionary types to parse these values
  * for matching and appropriateness to each dictionary.
  * You can use the setDictionaries() method to narrow the range of the
  * dictionaries that it will apply to.
  *
  * A DictQuery object can be considered an "unordered set" of values.
  * When testing for equality or comparison, each property or text entry above
  * is seen as a unique item in a set. Order is not important for these
  * operations. The object will attempt to preserve the order from parsed
  * strings, but it does not consider this order to be important.
  *
  * In general, application level programs are expected to use the
  * QString based interfaces, and dictionary implementations and other
  * parts of libkiten are expected to use the direct accessors and mutators,
  * although specialized interfaces (such as kitenradselect) may use property
  * mutators for a limited set of properties. (in this case, radicals)
  *
  * The query string input is of the following format:
  * &lt;QS&gt; ::= &lt;M&gt;DictQuery::mainDelimiter&lt;QS&gt;|&lt;R&gt;DictQuery::mainDelimiter&lt;QS&gt;|
  *       &lt;O&gt;DictQuery::mainDelimiter&lt;QS&gt;|NULL
  * &lt;M&gt;  ::= kana&lt;M&gt;|kana
  * &lt;R&gt;  ::= character&lt;R&gt;|character
  * &lt;O&gt;  ::= &lt;C&gt;DictQuery::propertySeparator&lt;D&gt;
  * &lt;C&gt;  ::= character&lt;C&gt;|character
  * &lt;D&gt;  ::= character&lt;D&gt;|character
