* @short Job that modifies a collection in the Akonadi storage.
*
* This job modifies the properties of an existing collection.
*
* @code
*
* Akonadi::Collection collection = ...
*
* Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob *job = new Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob( collection );
* connect( job, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), this, SLOT(modifyResult(KJob*)) );
*
* @endcode
*
* If the collection has attributes, it is recommended only to supply values for
* any attributes whose values are to be updated. This will help to avoid
* potential clashes with other resources or applications which may happen to
* update the collection simultaneously. To avoid supplying attribute values which
* are not needed, create a new instance of the collection and explicitly set
* attributes to be updated, e.g.
*
* @code
*
* // Update the 'MyAttribute' attribute of 'collection'.
* Akonadi::Collection c( collection.id() );
* MyAttribute *attribute = c.attribute<MyAttribute>( Entity::AddIfMissing );
* if ( collection.hasAttribute<MyAttribute>() ) {
* *attribute = *collection.attribute<MyAttribute>();
* }
* // Update the value of 'attribute' ...
* Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob *job = new Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob( c );
* connect( job, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), this, SLOT(modifyResult(KJob*)) );
*
* @endcode
*
* To update only the collection, and not change any attributes:
*
* @code
*
* // Update the cache policy for 'collection' to 'newPolicy'.
* Akonadi::Collection c( collection.id() );
* c.setCachePolicy( newPolicy );
* Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob *job = new Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob( c );
* connect( job, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), this, SLOT(modifyResult(KJob*)) );
