Models can be defined in C++ and then made available to QML. This is useful
for exposing existing C++ data models or otherwise complex datasets to QML.
-A C++ model class can be defined as a \l QStringList, a QObjectList or a
-\l QAbstractItemModel. The first two are useful for exposing simpler datasets,
