    /**
     * @short A generic implementation of the "replace" function.
     *
     * @author S.R.Haque , David Faure
     *
     * @sect Detail
     *
     * This class includes prompt handling etc. Also provides some
     * static functions which can be used to create custom behaviour
     * instead of using the class directly.
     *
     * @sect Example
     *
     * To use the class to implement a complete replace feature:
     *
     * In the slot connect to the replace action, after using KReplaceDialog:
     *
     *
     *  // This creates a replace-on-prompt dialog if needed.
     *  m_replace = new KReplace(pattern, replacement, options);
     *
     *  // Connect signals to code which handles highlighting
     *  // of found text, and on-the-fly replacement.
     *  connect( m_replace, SIGNAL( highlight( const QString &, int, int ) ),
     *          this, SLOT( slotHighlight( const QString &, int, int ) ) );
     *  // Connect findNext signal - called when pressing the button in the dialog
     *  connect( m_replace, SIGNAL( findNext() ),
     *          this, SLOT( slotReplaceNext() ) );
     *  // Connect replace signal - called when doing a replacement
     *  connect( m_replace, SIGNAL( replace(const QString &, int, int, int) ),
     *          this, SLOT( slotReplace(const QString &, int, int, int) ) );
     *
     *  Then initialize the variables determining the "current position"
     *  (to the cursor, if the option FromCursor is set,
     *   to the beginning of the selection if the option SelectedText is set,
     *   and to the beginning of the document otherwise).
     *  Initialize the "end of search" variables as well (end of doc or end of selection).
     *  Swap begin and end if FindBackwards.
     *  Finally, call slotReplaceNext();
     *
     *
     *  void slotReplaceNext()
     *  {
     *      KFind::Result res = KFind::NoMatch;
     *      while ( res == KFind::NoMatch &&  ) {
     *          if ( m_replace->needData() )
     *              m_replace->setData(  );
     *
     *          // Let KReplace inspect the text fragment, and display a dialog if a match is found
     *          res = m_replace->res();
     *
     *          if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) {
     *
     *          }
     *      }
     *
     *      if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) // i.e. at end
     *          displayFinalDialog(); delete m_replace; m_replace = 0L;
     *           or           if ( m_replace->shouldRestart() ) { reinit and call slotReplaceNext(); }
     *                        else { delete m_replace; m_replace = 0L; }>
     *  }
     *
     *
     *  Don't forget delete m_find in the destructor of your class,
     *  unless you gave it a parent widget on construction.
     *
     *
