    \class QMetaObject
    \inmodule QtCore

    \brief The QMetaObject class contains meta-information about Qt
    objects.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    The Qt \l{Meta-Object System} in Qt is responsible for the
    signals and slots inter-object communication mechanism, runtime
    type information, and the Qt property system. A single
    QMetaObject instance is created for each QObject subclass that is
    used in an application, and this instance stores all the
    meta-information for the QObject subclass. This object is
    available as QObject::metaObject().

    This class is not normally required for application programming,
    but it is useful if you write meta-applications, such as scripting
    engines or GUI builders.

    The functions you are most likely to find useful are these:
    \list
    \li className() returns the name of a class.
    \li superClass() returns the superclass's meta-object.
    \li method() and methodCount() provide information
       about a class's meta-methods (signals, slots and other
       \l{Q_INVOKABLE}{invokable} member functions).
    \li enumerator() and enumeratorCount() and provide information about
       a class's enumerators.
    \li propertyCount() and property() provide information about a
       class's properties.
    \li constructor() and constructorCount() provide information
       about a class's meta-constructors.
    \endlist

    The index functions indexOfConstructor(), indexOfMethod(),
    indexOfEnumerator(), and indexOfProperty() map names of constructors,
    member functions, enumerators, or properties to indexes in the
    meta-object. For example, Qt uses indexOfMethod() internally when you
    connect a signal to a slot.

    Classes can also have a list of \e{name}--\e{value} pairs of
    additional class information, stored in QMetaClassInfo objects.
    The number of pairs is returned by classInfoCount(), single pairs
    are returned by classInfo(), and you can search for pairs with
    indexOfClassInfo().

    \note Operations that use the meta object system are generally thread-
    safe, as QMetaObjects are typically static read-only instances
    generated at compile time. However, if meta objects are dynamically
    modified by the application (for instance, when using QQmlPropertyMap),
    then the application has to explicitly synchronize access to the
    respective meta object.

        {Meta-Object System}

    Invokes the \a member (a signal or a slot name) on the object \a
    obj. Returns \c true if the member could be invoked. Returns \c false
    if there is no such member or the parameters did not match.

    The invocation can be either synchronous or asynchronous,
    depending on \a type:

    \list
    \li If \a type is Qt::DirectConnection, the member will be invoked immediately.

    \li If \a type is Qt::QueuedConnection,
       a QEvent will be sent and the member is invoked as soon as the application
       enters the main event loop.

    \li If \a type is Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection, the method will be invoked in
       the same way as for Qt::QueuedConnection, except that the current thread
       will block until the event is delivered. Using this connection type to
       communicate between objects in the same thread will lead to deadlocks.

    \li If \a type is Qt::AutoConnection, the member is invoked
       synchronously if \a obj lives in the same thread as the
       caller; otherwise it will invoke the member asynchronously.
    \endlist

    The return value of the \a member function call is placed in \a
    ret. If the invocation is asynchronous, the return value cannot
    be evaluated. You can pass up to ten arguments (\a val0, \a val1,
    \a val2, \a val3, \a val4, \a val5, \a val6, \a val7, \a val8,
    and \a val9) to the \a member function.

    QGenericArgument and QGenericReturnArgument are internal
    helper classes. Because signals and slots can be dynamically
    invoked, you must enclose the arguments using the Q_ARG() and
    Q_RETURN_ARG() macros. Q_ARG() takes a type name and a
    const reference of that type; Q_RETURN_ARG() takes a type name
    and a non-const reference.

    You only need to pass the name of the signal or slot to this function,
    not the entire signature. For example, to asynchronously invoke
    the \l{QThread::quit()}{quit()} slot on a
    QThread, use the following code:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 2

    With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be of
    types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt needs
    to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the
    scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error
    message

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 3

    call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you
    call invokeMethod().

    To synchronously invoke the \c compute(QString, int, double) slot on
    some arbitrary object \c obj retrieve its return value:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 4

    If the "compute" slot does not take exactly one QString, one int
    and one double in the specified order, the call will fail.

    Invokes this method on the object \a object. Returns \c true if the member could be invoked.
    Returns \c false if there is no such member or the parameters did not match.

    The invocation can be either synchronous or asynchronous, depending on the
    \a connectionType:

    \list
    \li If \a connectionType is Qt::DirectConnection, the member will be invoked immediately.

    \li If \a connectionType is Qt::QueuedConnection,
       a QEvent will be posted and the member is invoked as soon as the application
       enters the main event loop.

    \li If \a connectionType is Qt::AutoConnection, the member is invoked
       synchronously if \a object lives in the same thread as the
       caller; otherwise it will invoke the member asynchronously.
    \endlist

    The return value of this method call is placed in \a
    returnValue. If the invocation is asynchronous, the return value cannot
    be evaluated. You can pass up to ten arguments (\a val0, \a val1,
    \a val2, \a val3, \a val4, \a val5, \a val6, \a val7, \a val8,
    and \a val9) to this method call.

    QGenericArgument and QGenericReturnArgument are internal
    helper classes. Because signals and slots can be dynamically
    invoked, you must enclose the arguments using the Q_ARG() and
    Q_RETURN_ARG() macros. Q_ARG() takes a type name and a
    const reference of that type; Q_RETURN_ARG() takes a type name
    and a non-const reference.

    To asynchronously invoke the
    \l{QPushButton::animateClick()}{animateClick()} slot on a
    QPushButton:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 6

    With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be of
    types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt needs
    to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the
    scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error
    message

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 7

    call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you
    call QMetaMethod::invoke().

    To synchronously invoke the \c compute(QString, int, double) slot on
    some arbitrary object \c obj retrieve its return value:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 8

    QMetaObject::normalizedSignature() is used here to ensure that the format
    of the signature is what invoke() expects.  E.g. extra whitespace is
    removed.

    If the "compute" slot does not take exactly one QString, one int
    and one double in the specified order, the call will fail.

    \warning this method will not test the validity of the arguments: \a object
    must be an instance of the class of the QMetaObject of which this QMetaMethod
    has been constructed with.  The arguments must have the same type as the ones
    expected by the method, else, the behaviour is undefined.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    Use name() for the enumerator's name. The enumerator's keys (names
    of each enumerated item) are returned by key(); use keyCount() to find
    the number of keys. isFlag() returns whether the enumerator is
    meant to be used as a flag, meaning that its values can be combined
    using the OR operator.

    The conversion functions keyToValue(), valueToKey(), keysToValue(),
    and valueToKeys() allow conversion between the integer
    representation of an enumeration or set value and its literal
    representation. The scope() function returns the class scope this
    enumerator was declared in.

    \brief The QMetaProperty class provides meta-data about a property.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    Property meta-data is obtained from an object's meta-object. See
    QMetaObject::property() and QMetaObject::propertyCount() for
    details.

    \section1 Property Meta-Data

    A property has a name() and a type(), as well as various
    attributes that specify its behavior: isReadable(), isWritable(),
    isDesignable(), isScriptable(), revision(), and isStored().

    If the property is an enumeration, isEnumType() returns \c true; if the
    property is an enumeration that is also a flag (i.e. its values
    can be combined using the OR operator), isEnumType() and
    isFlagType() both return true. The enumerator for these types is
    available from enumerator().

    The property's values are set and retrieved with read(), write(),
    and reset(); they can also be changed through QObject's set and get
    functions. See QObject::setProperty() and QObject::property() for
    details.

    \section1 Copying and Assignment
