 /**
 @class KDescendantsProxyModel kdescendantsproxymodel.h KDescendantsProxyModel
 
 @brief Proxy Model for restructuring a Tree into a list.
 
 A KDescendantsProxyModel may be used to alter how the items in the tree are presented.
 
 Given a model which is represented as a tree:
 
 \image html entitytreemodel.png "A plain EntityTreeModel in a view"
 
 The KDescendantsProxyModel restructures the sourceModel to represent it as a flat list.
 
 @code
 // ... Create an entityTreeModel
 KDescendantsProxyModel *descProxy = new KDescendantsProxyModel(this);
 descProxy->setSourceModel(entityTree);
 view->setModel(descProxy);
 @endcode
 
 \image html descendantentitiesproxymodel.png "A KDescendantsProxyModel."
 
 KDescendantEntitiesProxyModel can also display the ancestors of the index in the source model as part of its display.
 
 @code
 // ... Create an entityTreeModel
 KDescendantsProxyModel *descProxy = new KDescendantsProxyModel(this);
 descProxy->setSourceModel(entityTree);
 
 // #### This is new
 descProxy->setDisplayAncestorData(true);
 descProxy->setAncestorSeparator(QString(" / "));
 
 view->setModel(descProxy);
 
 @endcode
