/**
 * @brief Class to transport maps of D-Bus data types
 *
 * \note while the D-Bus data type is actually called @c dict this bindings
 *       use the term @c map since TQT_DBusDataMap is essentially a TQMap
 *
 * There are basically two ways to create TQT_DBusDataMap objects:
 * - non-empty from content
 * - empty by specifying the desired element type
 *
 * Example for creating a filled map from content
 * @code
 * TQMap<TQ_INT16, TQString> intToStringMap;
 * map.insert(2, "two");
 * map.insert(3, "three");
 * map.insert(5, "five");
 * map.insert(7, "seven");
 *
 * TQT_DBusDataMap<TQ_INT16> dbusMap(intToStringMap);
 * TQT_DBusData data = TQT_DBusData::fromInt16KeyMap(dbusMap);
 *
 * // or even shorter, using implicit conversion
 * TQT_DBusData other = TQT_DBusData::fromInt16KeyMap(intList);
 * @endcode
 *
 * Example for creating an empty map
 * @code
 * // empty map for a simple type, mapping from TQString to double
 * TQT_DBusDataMap<TQString> list(TQT_DBusData::Double);
 *
 * // empty map for value type string lists
 * TQT_DBusData valueType = TQT_DBusData::fromList(TQT_DBusDataList(TQT_DBusData::String));
 * TQT_DBusDataMap<TQString> map(valueType);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @see TQT_DBusDataList
