/*! \defgroup modelview Model/view system
 *  \brief Classes that implement %Wt's model/view system.
 *
 * <h2>1. Models</h2>
 *
 * The library provides support for tabular, tree-like and tree-table like
 * models. All of these implement WAbstractItemModel.
 *
 * <h3>Concrete model implementations</h3>
 *
 * The following concrete model implementations are provided:
 * - Wt::WStandardItemModel: a full general purpose model, which stores data
 *   in memory.
 * - Wt::WStringListModel: a low-height single column model, useful for simple
 *   list views
 * - Wt::Dbo::QueryModel: a database query backed model
 *
 * <h3>Proxy model implementations</h3>
 *
 * Proxy models are helper models which wrap around another model, to
 * provide additional functionality on top of the existing model. The
 * following propy models:
 *
 * - Wt::WSortFilterProxyModel: provides sorting and filtering support
 * - Wt::WAggregateProxyModel: provides column aggregation (useful only for
 *   views that implement column aggregation such as WAbstractItemView's).
 *
 * <h3>Abstract models</h3>
 *
 * Abstract models cannot be instantiated as such, but are the base point
 * for custom model implementations:
 *
 * - Wt::WAbstractItemModel: abstract base class of all models
 * - Wt::WAbstractTableModel: abstract base class for tabular models
 * - Wt::WAbstractProxyModel: abstract base class for proxy models.
 *
 * <h2>2. Views</h2>
 *
 * <h3>Item-based views</h3>
 *
 * - WComboBox: a combo box
 * - WSelectionBox: a selection box
 * - WTableView: a table view (with editing support)
 * - WTreeView: a tree(-table) view (with editing support)
 * - WSuggestionPopup: an intelligent input-driven combo box
 *
 * <h3>Graphical views</h3>
 *
 * - Chart::WCartesianChart: 2D cartesian chart
 * - Chart::WPieChart: pie charts
 *
 * <h3>ExtJS-based (JavaScript-only) views</h3>
 *
 * These views are being deprecated in favour of accessible
 * counterparts.
 *
 * - Ext::ComboBox: ExtJS implementation of combo box
 * - Ext::TableView: ExtJS implementation of table view (with editing support)
 *
 * <h2>3. Helper classes</h2>
 *
 * <h3>Model indexes</h3>
 *
 * WModelIndex represents an index to an item of a WAbstractItemModel,
 * identified by a row, column and parent node.
 *
 * <h3>Item delegates</h3>
 *
 * Item delegates are used by WTableView and WTreeView to render a
 * single item and to provide editing support.
 *
 * The abstract base class is WAbstractItemDelegate, and a default
 * implementation is provided by WItemDelegate.

/*! \class WModelIndex Wt/WModelIndex Wt/WModelIndex
 *  \brief A value class that describes an index to an item in a data model.
 *
 * Indexes are used to indicate a particular item in a
 * WAbstractItemModel. An index points to the item by identifying its
 * row and column location within a parent model index.
 *
 * An index is immutable.
 *
 * The default constructor creates an <i>invalid index</i>, which by
 * convention indicates the parent of top level indexes. Thus, a model
 * that specifies only a list or table of data (but no hierarchical
 * data) would have as valid indexes only indexes that specify the
 * <i>invalid</i> model index as parent.
 *
 * Upon the model's choice, model indexes for hierarchical models may
 * have an internal Id represented by a int64_t (internalId()), a
 * pointer (internalPointer()).
 *
 * Indexes are created by the model, within the protected
 * WAbstractItemModel::createIndex() methods. In this way, models can
 * define an internal pointer or id suitable for identifying parent
 * items in the model.
 *
 * When a model's geometry changes due to row or column insertions or
 * removals, you may need to update your indexes, as otherwise they
 * may no longer point to the same item (but instead still to the same
 * row/column). Thus, if you store indexes and want to support model
 * changes such as row or columns insertions/removals, then you need
 * to react to the corresponding signals such as
 * WAbstractItemModel::rowsInserted() to update these indexes
 * (i.e. shift them), or even remove them when the corresponding
 * row/column has been removed.
 *
 * When a model's layout changes (it is rearranging its contents for
 * example in response to a sort operation), a similar problem
 * arises. Some models support tracking of indexes over layout
 * changes, using <i>raw</i> indexes. In reaction to
 * WAbstractItemModel::layoutAboutToBeChanged(), you should encode any
 * index which you wish to recover after the layout change using
 * encodeAsRawIndex(), and in WAbstractItemModel::layoutChanged() you
 * can obtain an index that points to the same item using
 * decodeFromRawIndex().
