+/*! For now only pixmaps are supported 
+ @todo support any KPart-compatible objects and more...
+
+ Use this class by acessing to its singleton: KexiBLOBBuffer::self().
+
+ This class is used for buffering BLOB data, 
+ to avoid duplicating object's data in memory and a need for loading (decoding) 
+ the same object many times. 
+ The data is always local, what means database storage is not employed here.
+ 
+ Each BLOB instance is identified by an unsigned integer number (Id_t type), 
+ uniquely generated on BLOB loading. Each BLOB can have assigned source url 
+ it has been loaded from (the url can be empty though, e.g. for data coming from clipboard). 
+
+ References to KexiBLOBBuffer are counted, so when last reference is lost, data is freed
+ and the integer identifier is no longer pointing any valid data.
+ KexiBLOBBuffer::Handle is value-based class that describes handle based in an identifier.
+ Objects of this class are obtained e.g. from insertPixmap() method.
+
+ There are two kinds of identifiers:
+ - integers assigned for BLOBs already saved to a db backend, 
+    when KexiBLOBBuffer::Handle::stored() is true
+ - temporary integers assigned for new BLOBs not yet saved to a db backend, 
+    when KexiBLOBBuffer::Handle::stored() is false
+ KexiBLOBBuffer::Handle::setStoredWidthID() can be used to switch from unstored to stored state.
+ Among others, the state has effect on saving forms: only unstored BLOBs will be saved back 
+ to the database; when a BLOB needs to be removed, only it will be physically removed only if it was stored.
+
+ KexiBLOBBuffer is also useful for two more reasons:
+ - Property editor's item for "image" property displays a preview of pixmap contents.
+   Without buffering, it would be needed to load pixmap data again: what if the file
+   it is loaded from is located remote and connection is slow? Memory would be also unnecessary doubled.
+ - Undo/Redo framework requires to store previous property values. Having a reference defined 
+   by a single interger, memory can be handled more effectively. 
+
+ Example use cases:
+ A large pixmap file "abc.jpg" is loaded as QByteArray <b>once</b> and buffered:
+ integer identifier is returned.
+ Then, multiple image widgets are using "abc.jpg" for displaying.
+ Duplicating an image widget means only duplicating it's properties 
+ like position and BLOB's id: BLOB itself (data of "abc.jpg") is not duplicated.
+ Creating a new image widget and assiging the same "abc.jpg" pixmap, means only 
+ referencing KexiBLOBBuffer using the same identifier.

+ KexiViewBase objects can be also nested, using addChildView(): any actions and 'dirty' flag
+ are transmited to parent view in this case.
+
+ KexiViewBase objects are usually allocated within KexiDialogBase objects by implementing
+ KexiPart::createView() method. See query or table part code for examples.
