    \class TQStringList tqstringlist.h
    \reentrant
    \brief The TQStringList class provides a list of strings.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup text
    \mainclass

    It is used to store and manipulate strings that logically belong
    together. Essentially TQStringList is a TQValueList of TQString
    objects. Unlike TQStrList, which stores pointers to characters,
    TQStringList holds real TQString objects. It is the class of choice
    whenever you work with Unicode strings. TQStringList is part of the
    \link ntqtl.html TQt Template Library\endlink.

    Like TQString itself, TQStringList objects are implicitly shared, so
    passing them around as value-parameters is both fast and safe.

    Strings can be added to a list using append(), operator+=() or
    operator<<(), e.g.
    \code
    TQStringList fonts;
    fonts.append( "Times" );
    fonts += "Courier";
    fonts += "Courier New";
    fonts << "Helvetica [Cronyx]" << "Helvetica [Adobe]";
    \endcode

    String lists have an iterator, TQStringList::Iterator(), e.g.
    \code
    for ( TQStringList::Iterator it = fonts.begin(); it != fonts.end(); ++it ) {
	cout << *it << ":";
    }
    cout << endl;
    // Output:
    //	Times:Courier:Courier New:Helvetica [Cronyx]:Helvetica [Adobe]:
    \endcode

    Many TQt functions return string lists by value; to iterate over
    these you should make a copy and iterate over the copy.

    You can concatenate all the strings in a string list into a single
    string (with an optional separator) using join(), e.g.
    \code
    TQString allFonts = fonts.join( ", " );
    cout << allFonts << endl;
    // Output:
    //	Times, Courier, Courier New, Helvetica [Cronyx], Helvetica [Adobe]
    \endcode

    You can sort the list with sort(), and extract a new list which
    contains only those strings which contain a particular substring
    (or match a particular regular expression) using the grep()
    functions, e.g.
    \code
    fonts.sort();
    cout << fonts.join( ", " ) << endl;
    // Output:
    //	Courier, Courier New, Helvetica [Adobe], Helvetica [Cronyx], Times

    TQStringList helveticas = fonts.grep( "Helvetica" );
    cout << helveticas.join( ", " ) << endl;
    // Output:
    //	Helvetica [Adobe], Helvetica [Cronyx]
    \endcode

    Existing strings can be split into string lists with character,
    string or regular expression separators, e.g.
    \code
    TQString s = "Red\tGreen\tBlue";
    TQStringList colors = TQStringList::split( "\t", s );
    cout << colors.join( ", " ) << endl;
    // Output:
    //	Red, Green, Blue
    \endcode
*/

/*!
    \fn TQStringList::TQStringList()

    Creates an empty string list.
*/

/*!
    \fn TQStringList::TQStringList( const TQStringList& l )

    Creates a copy of the list \a l. This function is very fast
    because TQStringList is implicitly shared. In most situations this
    acts like a deep copy, for example, if this list or the original
    one or some other list referencing the same shared data is
    modified, the modifying list first makes a copy, i.e.
    copy-on-write.
    In a threaded environment you may require a real deep copy
    \omit see \l TQDeepCopy\endomit.
*/

/*!
    \fn TQStringList::TQStringList (const TQString & i)

    Constructs a string list consisting of the single string \a i.
    Longer lists are easily created as follows:

    \code
    TQStringList items;
    items << "Buy" << "Sell" << "Update" << "Value";
    \endcode
*/

/*!
    \fn TQStringList::TQStringList (const char* i)

    Constructs a string list consisting of the single Latin-1 string \a i.
*/

/*!
    \fn TQStringList::TQStringList( const TQValueList<TQString>& l )

    Constructs a new string list that is a copy of \a l.
*/

/*!
    Sorts the list of strings in ascending case-sensitive order.

    Sorting is very fast. It uses the \link ntqtl.html TQt Template
    Library's\endlink efficient HeapSort implementation that has a
    time complexity of O(n*log n).

    If you want to sort your strings in an arbitrary order consider
    using a TQMap. For example you could use a TQMap\<TQString,TQString\>
    to create a case-insensitive ordering (e.g. mapping the lowercase
    text to the text), or a TQMap\<int,TQString\> to sort the strings by
    some integer index, etc.

    four-item list, "f", "o", "u", "r".

    If \a allowEmptyEntries is TRUE, a null string is inserted in
    the list wherever the separator matches twice without intervening
    text.
