 *  @short A base class for a model used by KPageView.

 *  implement custom models for KPageView. Additional to the the standard
 *  Qt::ItemDataRoles it provides the two roles
 *
 *    @li HeaderRole
 *    @li WidgetRole
 *
 *  which are used to return a header string for a page and a QWidget
 *  pointer to the page itself.
 *
 *  <b>Example:</b>\n
 *
 *  \code
 *    KPageView *view = new KPageView( this );
 *    KPageModel *model = new MyPageModel( this );
 *
 *    view->setModel( model );
