+    the device may return what it desires to.
+    The actual number of bytes the pointer is valid for is returned in
+    the \a len variable.
+    \a len will be -1 if EOF or an error occurs.

+/*! \class QContiguousCache
+    \brief The QContiguousCache class is a template class that provides a contiguous cache.
+    \ingroup tools
+    \ingroup shared
+    \reentrant
+
+    The QContiguousCache class provides an efficient way of caching items for
+    display in a user interface view.  Unlike QCache, it adds a restriction
+    that elements within the cache are contiguous.  This has the advantage
+    of matching how user interface views most commonly request data, as
+    a set of rows localized around the current scrolled position.  This
+    restriction allows the cache to consume less memory and processor
+    cycles than QCache.  The QContiguousCache class also can provide
+    an upper bound on memory usage via setCapacity().
+
+    The simplest way of using a contiguous cache is to use the append()
+    and prepend().
+
+\code
+MyRecord record(int row) const
+{
+    Q_ASSERT(row >= 0 && row < count());
+
+    while(row > cache.lastIndex())
+        cache.append(slowFetchRecord(cache.lastIndex()+1));
+    while(row < cache.firstIndex())
+        cache.prepend(slowFetchRecord(cache.firstIndex()-1));
+
+    return cache.at(row);
+}
+\endcode
+
+    If the cache is full then the item at the opposite end of the cache from
+    where the new item is appended or prepended will be removed.
+
+    This usage can be further optimized by using the insert() function
+    in the case where the requested row is a long way from the currently cached
+    items. If there is a gap between where the new item is inserted and the currently
+    cached items then the existing cached items are first removed to retain
+    the contiguous nature of the cache.  Hence it is important to take some care then
+    when using insert() in order to avoid unwanted clearing of the cache.
+
+    The range of valid indexes for the QContiguousCache class are from
+    0 to INT_MAX.  Calling prepend() such that the first index would become less
+    than 0 or append() such that the last index would become greater
+    than INT_MAX can result in the indexes of the cache being invalid.
+    When the cache indexes are invalid it is important to call
+    normalizeIndexes() before calling any of containsIndex(), firstIndex(),
+    lastIndex(), at() or the [] operator.  Calling these
+    functions when the cache has invalid indexes will result in undefined
+    behavior.  The indexes can be checked by using areIndexesValid()
+
+    In most cases the indexes will not exceed 0 to INT_MAX, and
+    normalizeIndexes() will not need to be used.
+
+    See the \l{Contiguous Cache Example}{Contiguous Cache} example.
