\class QDeclarativeListProperty
\brief The QDeclarativeListProperty class allows applications to explose list-like 
properties to QML.

QML has many list properties, where more than one object value can be assigned.
The use of a list property from QML looks like this:

\code
FruitBasket {
    fruit: [ 
             Apple {},
             Orange{},
             Banana {}
           ]
}
\endcode

The QDeclarativeListProperty encapsulates a group of function pointers that represet the
set of actions QML can perform on the list - adding items, retrieving items and
clearing the list.  In the future, additional operations may be supported.  All 
list properties must implement the append operation, but the rest are optional.

To provide a list property, a C++ class must implement the operation callbacks, 
and then return an appropriate QDeclarativeListProperty value from the property getter.
List properties should have no setter.  In the example above, the Q_PROPERTY()
declarative will look like this:

\code
Q_PROPERTY(QDeclarativeListProperty<Fruit> fruit READ fruit);
\endcode

QML list properties are typesafe - in this case \c {Fruit} is a QObject type that 
\c {Apple}, \c {Orange} and \c {Banana} all derive from.

\fn QDeclarativeListProperty::QDeclarativeListProperty(QObject *object, QList<T *> &list)

Convenience constructor for making a QDeclarativeListProperty value from an existing
QList \a list.  The \a list reference must remain valid for as long as \a object
exists.  \a object must be provided.

Generally this constructor should not be used in production code, as a 
writable QList violates QML's memory management rules.  However, this constructor
can very useful while prototyping.

                                     ClearFunction clear = 0)

Construct a QDeclarativeListProperty from a set of operation functions.  An opaque \a data handle
may be passed which can be accessed from within the operation functions.  The list property 
remains valid while \a object exists.

The \a append operation is compulsory and must be provided, while the \a count, \a at and
\a clear methods are optional.

Append the \a value to the list \a property.
