/** Simple widget that nonetheless does a lot of the dirty work for
    the filter edit widgets (@ref KMSearchpatternEdit and @ref
    KMFilterActionEdit). It provides a growable and shrinkable area
    where widget may be displayed in rows. Widgets can be added by
    hitting the provided 'More' button, removed by the 'Fewer' button
    and cleared (e.g. reset, if an derived class implements that and
    removed for all but @ref mMinWidgets).

    To use this widget, derive from it with the template changed to
    the type of widgets this class should list. Then reimplement @ref
    addWidgetAtEnd, @ref removeLastWidget, calling the original
    implementation as necessary. Instantate an object of the class and
    put it in your dialog.

    @short Widget that manages a list of other widgets (incl. 'more', 'fewer' and 'clear' buttons).
