/*!
    \qmlclass Repeater
    \inherits Item

    \brief The Repeater item allows you to repeat a component based on a data source.

    The Repeater item is used when you want to create a large number of 
    similar items.  For each entry in the data source, an item is instantiated
    in a context seeded with data from the data source.  If the repeater will
    be instantiating a large number of instances, it may be more efficient to
    use one of Qt Declarative's \l {xmlViews}{view items}.

    The data source may be either an object list, a string list or a Qt model.
    In each case, the data element and the index is exposed to each instantiated
    component.  The index is always exposed as an accessible \c index property.
    In the case of an object or string list, the data element (of type string
    or object) is available as the \c modelData property.  In the case of a Qt model,
    all roles are available as named properties just like in the view classes.

    Items instantiated by the Repeater are inserted, in order, as 
    children of the Repeater's parent.  The insertion starts immediately after
    the repeater's position in its parent stacking list.  This is to allow
    you to use a Repeater inside a layout.  The following QML example shows how
    the instantiated items would visually appear stacked between the red and 
    blue rectangles.

    \brief The QFxRepeater class allows you to repeat a component based on a 
           data source.

    The QFxRepeater class is used when you want to create a large number of 
    similar items.  For each entry in the data source, an item is instantiated
    in a context seeded with data from the data source.

    The data source may be either an object list, a string list or a Qt model.
    In each case, the data element and the index is exposed to each instantiated
    component.  The index is always exposed as an accessible \c index property.
    In the case of an object or string list, the data element (of type string
    or object) is available as the \c modelData property.  In the case of a Qt model,
    all roles are available as named properties just like in the view classes.

    As a special case the data source can also be merely a number. In this case it will
    create that many instances of the component. They will also be assigned an index
    based on the order they are created.

    Items instantiated by the QFxRepeater class are inserted, in order, as 
    children of the repeater's parent.  The insertion starts immediately after
    the repeater's position in its parent stacking list.  This is to allow
    you to use a repeater inside a layout.  The following QML example shows how
    the instantiated items would visually appear stacked between the red and 
    blue rectangles.

    The QFxRepeater instance continues to own all items it instantiates, even
    if they are otherwise manipulated.  It is illegal to manually delete an item
    created by the repeater.  On destruction, the repeater will clean up any
    items it has instantiated.


    XXX Repeater is very conservative in how it instatiates/deletes items.  Also
    new model entries will not be created and old ones will not be removed.
