    \brief The QStringList class provides a list of strings.
 
    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup string-processing
 
    \reentrant
 
    QStringList is actually just a QList<QString>. Like QList, QStringList is
    \l{implicitly shared}. It provides fast index-based access as well as fast
    insertions and removals. Passing string lists as value parameters is both
    fast and safe.
 
    All of QList's functionality also applies to QStringList. For example, you
    can use isEmpty() to test whether the list is empty, and you can call
    functions like append(), prepend(), insert(), replace(), removeAll(),
    removeAt(), removeFirst(), removeLast(), and removeOne() to modify a
    QStringList. In addition, QStringList provides a few convenience
    functions that make handling lists of strings easier.
 
    \section1 Initializing
 
    The default constructor creates an empty list. You can use the
    initializer-list constructor to create a list with elements:
 
    \snippet qstringlist/main.cpp 0a
 
    \section1 Adding Strings
 
    Strings can be added to a list using the \l
    {QList::insert()}{insert()}, \l
    {QList::append()}{append()}, \l
    {QList::operator+=()}{operator+=()} and \l
    {operator<<()} functions.
 
    \l{operator<<()} can be used to
    conveniently add multiple elements to a list:
 
    \snippet qstringlist/main.cpp 0b
 
    \section1 Iterating Over the Strings
 
    See \l {Iterating over Containers}.
 
    \section1 Manipulating the Strings
 
    QStringList provides several functions allowing you to manipulate
    the contents of a list. You can concatenate all the strings in a
    string list into a single string (with an optional separator)
    using the join() function. For example:
 
    \snippet qstringlist/main.cpp 4
 
    The argument to join can be a single character or a string.
 
    To break up a string into a string list, use the QString::split()
    function:
 
    \snippet qstringlist/main.cpp 6
 
    The argument to split can be a single character, a string or a
    QRegularExpression.
 
    In addition, the \l {QStringList::operator+()}{operator+()}
    function allows you to concatenate two string lists into one. To
    sort a string list, use the sort() function.
 
    QString list also provides the filter() function which lets you
    to extract a new list which contains only those strings which
    contain a particular substring (or match a particular regular
    expression):
 
    \snippet qstringlist/main.cpp 7
 
    The contains() function tells you whether the list contains a
    given string, while the indexOf() function returns the index of
    the first occurrence of the given string. The lastIndexOf()
    function on the other hand, returns the index of the last
    occurrence of the string.
 
    Finally, the replaceInStrings() function calls QString::replace()
    on each string in the string list in turn. For example:
 
    \snippet qstringlist/main.cpp 8
 
    \sa QString
*/
 
/*!
    \fn QStringList::QStringList(const QString &str)
 
    Constructs a string list that contains the given string, \a
    str. Longer lists are easily created like this:
 
    \snippet qstringlist/main.cpp 9
 
    \sa append()
*/
 
/*!
    \fn QStringList::QStringList(const QList<QString> &other)
 
    Constructs a copy of \a other.
 
    This operation takes \l{constant time}, because QStringList is
    \l{implicitly shared}. This makes returning a QStringList from a
    function very fast. If a shared instance is modified, it will be
    copied (copy-on-write), and that takes \l{linear time}.

/*!
    \fn void QStringList::sort(Qt::CaseSensitivity cs)
 
    Sorts the list of strings in ascending order.
 
//! [comparison-case-sensitivity]
    If \a cs is \l Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the string comparison
    is case sensitive; otherwise the comparison is case insensitive.
//! [comparison-case-sensitivity]
 
    Sorting is performed using the STL's std::sort() algorithm,
    which averages \l{linear-logarithmic time}, i.e. O(\e{n} log \e{n}).
 
    If you want to sort your strings in an arbitrary order, consider
    using the QMap class. For example, you could use a QMap<QString,
    QString> to create a case-insensitive ordering (e.g. with the keys
    being lower-case versions of the strings, and the values being the
    strings), or a QMap<int, QString> to sort the strings by some
    integer index.
