    \class QPair
    \inmodule QtCore
    \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.

/*! \typedef QPair::first_type

    The type of the first element in the pair (T1).

    \sa first
*/

/*! \typedef QPair::second_type

    The type of the second element in the pair (T2).

    \sa second
*/

/*! \variable QPair::first

    The first element in the pair.
*/

/*! \variable QPair::second

    The second element in the pair.

/*! \fn QPair::QPair()

    Constructs an empty pair. The \c first and \c second elements are
    initialized with \l{default-constructed value}s.
*/

    Constructs a pair and initializes the \c first element with \a
    value1 and the \c second element with \a value2.

\fn void QPair::swap(QPair &other)

    \since 5.5
    Swaps this pair with \a other.

        qSwap(this->first, other.first);
        qSwap(this->second, other.second);

    Swap overloads are found in namespace \c std as well as via
    argument-dependent lookup (ADL) in the namespace of \c{T} .

    Swaps \a lhs with \a rhs.
*/

/*!
    \fn QPair::QPair(const QPair<TT1, TT2> &p)
    \since 5.2

    Constructs a pair from the other pair \a p, of types TT1 and TT2. This
    constructor will fail if \c first cannot be initialized from \c p.first or
    if \c second cannot be initialized from \c p.second.

/*! \fn bool operator==(const QPair<T1, T2> &p1, const QPair<T1, T2> &p2)

    \relates QPair

    Returns \c true if \a p1 is equal to \a p2; otherwise returns \c false.
    Two pairs compare equal if their \c first data members compare
    equal and if their \c second data members compare equal.

    This function requires the T1 and T2 types to have an

    Returns \c true if \a p1 is not equal to \a p2; otherwise returns
    false. Two pairs compare as not equal if their \c first data
    members are not equal or if their \c second data members are not
    equal.

    \relates QPair

    Returns \c true if \a p1 is less than \a p2; otherwise returns
    false. The comparison is done on the \c first members of \a p1
    and \a p2; if they compare equal, the \c second members are
    compared to break the tie.

/*!

    \relates QPair

    Returns a QPair\<T1, T2\> that contains \a value1 and \a value2.
    Example:

    \snippet code/doc_src_qpair.cpp 2

    This is equivalent to QPair<T1, T2>(\a value1, \a value2), but
    usually requires less typing.
*/

/*! \fn QDataStream &operator>>(QDataStream &in, QPair<T1, T2> &pair)

    \relates QPair

    Reads a pair from stream \a in into \a pair.

/*! \fn QDataStream &operator<<(QDataStream &out, const QPair<T1, T2> &pair)
