/** @brief A single element of a property tree, with a name, value,
 *         description, and possibly children.
 *
 * A Property in a property tree is a piece of data editable or at
 * least displayable in a PropertyTreeWidget.  A Property object
 * @em owns the data item in question.  When client code needs to be
 * informed about changes, it can connect to the Property's
 * aboutToChange() and changed() signals.  A slot receiving the
 * changed() signal should then ask the Property itself for the new
 * data.  Example:
 * @code
 *     RangeDisplay::RangeDisplay()
 *     {
 *       color_property_ = new ColorProperty( "Color", Qt::white,
 *                                            "Color to draw the range.",
 *                                            this, SLOT( updateColorAndAlpha() ));
 *     
 *       alpha_property_ = new FloatProperty( "Alpha", 0.5,
 *                                            "Amount of transparency to apply to the range.",
 *                                            this, SLOT( updateColorAndAlpha() ));
 *     }
 *     
 *     void RangeDisplay::updateColorAndAlpha()
 *     {
 *       Ogre::ColourValue oc = color_property_->getOgreColor();
 *       float alpha = alpha_property_->getFloat();
 *       for( size_t i = 0; i < cones_.size(); i++ )
 *       {
 *         cones_[i]->setColor( oc.r, oc.g, oc.b, alpha );
 *       }
 *       context_->queueRender();
 *     }
 * @endcode
 * Many subclasses of Property exist with specializations for storing
 * specific types of data.  Most of these ultimately use
 * Property::setValue() to store the data in a QVariant.
 *
 * It is important that knowledge of subclasses not be *required* to
 * get and set data, so that external code can access and change
 * properties without needing to @c #include and link against the code
 * in question.  For instance:
 * @code
 *     prop->subProp( "Offset" )->subProp( "X" )->setValue( 3.14 );
 * @endcode
 * Sets the X component of the VectorProperty called "Offset" which is
 * a child of @c prop.  This works without this code needing to know
 * about the existence of VectorProperty.
 *
 * To show a Property tree in a PropertyTreeWidget, wrap the root
 * Property in a PropertyTreeModel and call
 * PropertyTreeWidget::setModel() with it. */
