    \class QStringList
    \brief The QStringList class provides a list of strings.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup string-processing

    \reentrant

    QStringList inherits from QList<QString>. Like QList, QStringList is
    \l{implicitly shared}. It provides fast index-based access as well as fast
    insertions and removals. Passing string lists as value parameters is both
    fast and safe.

    All of QList's functionality also applies to QStringList. For example, you
    can use isEmpty() to test whether the list is empty, and you can call
    functions like append(), prepend(), insert(), replace(), removeAll(),
    removeAt(), removeFirst(), removeLast(), and removeOne() to modify a
    QStringList. In addition, QStringList provides a few convenience
    functions that make handling lists of strings easier:

    \tableofcontents

    \section1 Adding strings

    Strings can be added to a list using the \l
    {QList::append()}{append()}, \l
    {QList::operator+=()}{operator+=()} and \l
    {QStringList::operator<<()}{operator<<()} functions. For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 0

    \section1 Iterating over the strings

    To iterate over a list, you can either use index positions or
    QList's Java-style and STL-style iterator types:

    Indexing:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 1

    Java-style iterator:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 2

    STL-style iterator:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 3

    The QStringListIterator class is simply a type definition for
    QListIterator<QString>. QStringList also provide the
    QMutableStringListIterator class which is a type definition for
    QMutableListIterator<QString>.

    \section1 Manipulating the strings

    QStringList provides several functions allowing you to manipulate
    the contents of a list. You can concatenate all the strings in a
    string list into a single string (with an optional separator)
    using the join() function. For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 4

    To break up a string into a string list, use the QString::split()
    function:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 6

    The argument to split can be a single character, a string, or a
    QRegExp.

    In addition, the \l {QStringList::operator+()}{operator+()}
    function allows you to concatenate two string lists into one. To
    sort a string list, use the sort() function.

    QString list also provides the filter() function which lets you
    to extract a new list which contains only those strings which
    contain a particular substring (or match a particular regular
    expression):

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 7

    The contains() function tells you whether the list contains a
    given string, while the indexOf() function returns the index of
    the first occurrence of the given string. The lastIndexOf()
    function on the other hand, returns the index of the last
    occurrence of the string.

    Finally, the replaceInStrings() function calls QString::replace()
    on each string in the string list in turn. For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 8

    \sa QString
*/

/*!
    \fn QStringList::QStringList()

    Constructs an empty string list.
*/

/*!
    \fn QStringList::QStringList(const QString &str)

    Constructs a string list that contains the given string, \a
    str. Longer lists are easily created like this:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/qstringlist/main.cpp 9

    \sa append()
*/

/*!
    \fn QStringList::QStringList(const QStringList &other)

    Constructs a copy of the \a other string list.

    This operation takes \l{constant time} because QStringList is
    \l{implicitly shared}, making the process of returning a
    QStringList from a function very fast. If a shared instance is
    modified, it will be copied (copy-on-write), and that takes
    \l{linear time}.

    \sa operator=()
*/

/*!
    \fn QStringList::QStringList(const QList<QString> &other)

    Constructs a copy of \a other.

    This operation takes \l{constant time}, because QStringList is
    \l{implicitly shared}. This makes returning a QStringList from a
    function very fast. If a shared instance is modified, it will be
    copied (copy-on-write), and that takes \l{linear time}.

    \sa operator=()
*/

/*!
    \fn void QStringList::sort()

    Sorts the list of strings in ascending order (case sensitively).

    Sorting is performed using Qt's qSort() algorithm,
    which operates in \l{linear-logarithmic time}, i.e. O(\e{n} log \e{n}).

    If you want to sort your strings in an arbitrary order, consider
    using the QMap class. For example, you could use a QMap<QString,
    QString> to create a case-insensitive ordering (e.g. with the keys
    being lower-case versions of the strings, and the values being the
    strings), or a QMap<int, QString> to sort the strings by some
    integer index.

    \sa qSort()
