//! \class TreeModel_ItemBase
//! \brief Declaration of an abstract interface of model item.
//!
//! The TreeModel_ItemBase class defines the standard interface that model items must use
//! to be able to provide the model information in the tree view architecture.
//! It is not supposed to be instantiated directly. Instead, you should subclass it to
//! create new items.
//!
//! The goal of the item is to be an data container of a custom model, based on the
//! QAbstractItemModel. It provides the items architecture in order to realize the model
//! functionality to find a parent model index by a child index and vise versa.
//!
//! The item should be created by the model and is saved in the internal pointer of the
//! QModelIndex. Only model knows when the index is removed/created. By this cause,
//! the item is wrapped in the QExplicitlySharedDataPointer. It is a counter on the pointer
//! and if there is no index that refers to the item, it is removed automatically. So,
//! there is no necessity to remove the item manually.
//!
//! The item knows a pointer to the parent item and its position into.
//! Some methods of the item should be realized to fill the item content.
//! These are: the children count, a child creation and a child data.
//!
//! The best way of the item using is to request the content of the item from some
//! information object without the caching it. But it can be very expensive realisation,
//! because method data, for example, is called by the viewer repaint, in other words,
//! constantly.
//!
//! It is possible to cache some information in the item. Do not give it throught the item
//! constructor. Realize method Init() to save the values in the item internal fields.
//! If the information model is changed, call Reset() for this item, or the item's parent.
//! It leads the item to non initialized state and by the next get of the item content,
//! call Init() method to fulfill the item content again.
