/**
 * @short Specifies which parts of an item should be fetched from the Akonadi storage.
 *
 * When items are fetched from server either by using ItemFetchJob explicitly or
 * when it is being used internally by other classes, e.g. ItemModel, the scope
 * of the fetch operation can be tailored to the application's current needs.
 *
 * There are two supported ways of changing the currently active ItemFetchScope
 * of classes:
 * - in-place: modify the ItemFetchScope object the other class holds as a member
 * - replace: replace the other class' member with a new scope object
 *
 * Example: modifying an ItemFetchJob's scope @c in-place
 * @code
 * Akonadi::ItemFetchJob *job = new Akonadi::ItemFetchJob( collection );
 * job->fetchScope().fetchFullPayload();
 * job->fetchScope().fetchAttribute<MyAttribute>();
 * @endcode
 *
 * Example: @c replacing an ItemFetchJob's scope
 * @code
 * Akonadi::ItemFetchScope scope;
 * scope.fetchFullPayload();
 * scope.fetchAttribute<MyAttribute>();
 *
 * Akonadi::ItemFetchJob *job = new Akonadi::ItemFetchJob( collection );
 * job->setFetchScope( scope );
 * @endcode
 *
 * This class is implicitly shared.
