/**

 This class offers easy use of "auto-completion", "manual-completion" or
 "shell completion" on String objects. A common use is completing filenames
 or URLs (see KURLCompletion()).
 But it is not limited to URL-completion -- everything should be completable!
 The user should be able to complete email-addresses, telephone-numbers,
 commands, SQL queries, ...
 Every time your program knows what the user can type into an edit-field, you
 should offer completion. With KCompletion, this is very easy, and if you are
 using a line edit widget ( KLineEdit), it is even more easy.
 Basically, you tell a KCompletion object what strings should be completable
 and whenever completion should be invoked, you call makeCompletion().
 KLineEdit and (an editable) KComboBox even do this automatically for you.
 KCompletion offers the completed string via the signal match() and
 all matching strings (when the result is ambiguous) via the method
 allMatches().
 Notice: auto-completion, shell completion and manual completion work
         slightly differently:

	<li>
	auto-completion always returns a complete item as match.
	     When more than one matching items are available, it will deliver just
	     the first (depending on sorting order) item. Iterating over all matches
	     is possible via nextMatch() and previousMatch().
	</li>
	
	<li>
	popup-completion works in the same way, the only difference being that
	     the completed items are not put into the edit-widget, but into a
	     separate popup-box.
	</li>
	
	<li>
	manual completion works the same way as auto-completion, the
	     subtle difference is, that it isn't invoked automatically while the user
	     is typing, but only when the user presses a special key. The difference
	     of manual and auto-completion is therefore only visible in UI classes,
	     KCompletion needs to know whether to deliver partial matches
	     (shell completion) or whole matches (auto/manual completion), therefore
	 KGlobalSettings.CompletionMan and
	 KGlobalSettings.CompletionAuto have the exact same effect in
	     KCompletion.
	</li>
	
	<li>
	shell completion works like how shells complete filenames:
	     when multiple matches are available, the longest possible string of all
	     matches is returned (i.e. only a partial item).
	     Iterating over all matching items (complete, not partial) is possible
	     via nextMatch() and previousMatch().
	</li>
	 You don't have to worry much about that though, KCompletion handles
 that for you, according to the setting setCompletionMode().
 The default setting is globally configured by the user and read
 from KGlobalSettings.completionMode().
 A short example:
 <pre>
 KCompletion completion;
 completion.setOrder( KCompletion.Sorted );
 completion.addItem( "pfeiffer@kde.org" );
 completion.addItem( "coolo@kde.org" );
 completion.addItem( "carpdjih@sp.zrz.tu-berlin.de" );
 completion.addItem( "carp@cs.tu-berlin.de" );
 cout << completion.makeCompletion( "ca" ).latin1() << endl;
 </pre>
 In shell-completion-mode, this will be "carp"; in auto-completion-
 mode it will be "carp\@cs.tu-berlin.de", as that is alphabetically
 smaller.
 If setOrder was set to Insertion, "carpdjih\@sp.zrz.tu-berlin.de"
 would be completed in auto-completion-mode, as that was inserted before
 "carp\@cs.tu-berlin.de".
 You can dynamically update the completable items by removing and adding them
 whenever you want.
 For advanced usage, you could even use multiple KCompletion objects. E.g.
 imagine an editor like kwrite with multiple open files. You could store
 items of each file in a different KCompletion object, so that you know (and
 tell the user) where a completion comes from.
 Note: KCompletion does not work with strings that contain 0x0 characters
       (unicode nul), as this is used internally as a delimiter.
 You may inherit from KCompletion and override makeCompletion() in
 special cases (like reading directories/urls and then supplying the
 contents to KCompletion, as KURLCompletion does), but generally, this is
 not necessary.
