//! \brief  This is the base model for managing all the properties
//!         and passing them to the view.
//!
//! When you create your own "proxy models", this is the place to
//! start: just subclass VPropertyModel and extend the new class.
//! Have a look at existing examples of proxies.
//!
//! <strong>Note that in this context, the term "proxy model" does not refer
//! to VProxyModel as that is another concept.</strong>
//! The idea behind "proxy models" in the QtPropertyExplorer framework
//! is to provide an convenient interface which takes data as your
//! application (or a third-party-library) provides it, and converts this
//! data to VProperty-objects, manage them and produce output for the views.
//!
//! In most cases, you will not need to rewrite the basic functions of
//! QAbstractItemModel, as VPropertyModel provides standard implementations
//! to work with. Thus, instead of subclassing VPropertyModel, it is also
//! possible to use VPropertyModel directly (as it is not an abstract class).
//! This might be more convenient in some cases.
