    \class QPair
    \inmodule QtCore
    \reentrant
    \brief The QPair class is a template class that stores a pair of items.

    \ingroup tools

    QPair\<T1, T2\> can be used in your application if the STL \c
    pair type is not available. It stores one value of type T1 and
    one value of type T2. It can be used as a return value for a
    function that needs to return two values, or as the value type of
    a \l{Container classes}{generic container}.

    Here's an example of a QPair that stores one QString and one \c
    double value:

    \snippet code/doc_src_qpair.cpp 0

    The components are accessible as public data members called \l
    first and \l second. For example:

    \snippet code/doc_src_qpair.cpp 1

    Note, however, that it is almost always preferable to define a small struct
    to hold the result of a function with multiple return values. A struct
    trivially generalizes to more than two values, and allows more descriptive
    member names than \c{first} and \c{second}:

    \snippet code/doc_src_qpair.cpp struct

    The advent of C++11 automatic variable type deduction (\c{auto}) shifts the
    emphasis from the type name to the name of functions and members. Thus, QPair,
    like \c{std::pair} and \c{std::tuple}, is mostly useful in generic (template)
    code, where defining a dedicated type is not possible.

    QPair's template data types (T1 and T2) must be \l{assignable
    data types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
    instead, store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional
    requirements; these requirements are documented on a per-function
    basis.

    Constructs a pair from the other pair \a p, of types TT1 and TT2. This

    This is equivalent to QPair<T1, T2>(\a value1, \a value2), but
