+ BusyIndicator is similar to an indeterminate \l ProgressBar. Both can be
+ used to indicate background activity. The main difference is visual, and
+ that ProgressBar can also present a concrete amount of progress (when it
+ can be determined). Due to the visual difference, busy indicators and
+ indeterminate progress bars fit different places in user interfaces.
+ Typical places for a busy indicator:
+ \list
+ \li in the corner of a \l ToolBar
+ \li as an overlay on top of a \l Page
+ \li on the side of an \l ItemDelegate
+ \endlist
