Ivailo Monev 61333c4671 generic: namespaced Qt4/Katie build fixes
most of the changes were done trought Katie's namefsck script which
convertes forward class declarations to include directives, however
other fixes here and there were needed as well as some questionable
changes to Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO() macro calls because they most likely
have to do the namespacing themselfs (QT_BEGIN/END_NAMESPACE, and
probably will be in Katie) meaning that some of the changes may be
temporary and reverted later.

* \brief Variable/Modeline extension interface for the Document.
*
* \ingroup kte_group_doc_extensions
*
* \section variface_intro Introduction
*
* The VariableInterface is designed to provide access to so called
* "document variables" (also called modelines), for example variables
* defined in files like "kate: variable value;" or the emacs style
* "-*- variable: value -*-".
*
* The idea is to allow KTextEditor plugins and applications to use document
* variables. A document implementing this interface should return values
* for variables that it does not otherwise know how to use, since they
* could be of interest for plugins. A Document implementing this interface
* must emit the signal variableChanged() whenever a variable/value pair was
* set, changed or removed.
*
* \note Implementations should check the document variables whenever the
* document was saved or loaded.
*
* \section variface_access Accessing the VariableInterface
*
* The VariableInterface is an extension interface for a
* Document, i.e. the Document inherits the interface \e provided that the
* used KTextEditor library implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to
* access the interface:
* \code
* // doc is of type KTextEditor::Document*
* KTextEditor::VariableInterface *iface =
* qobject_cast<KTextEditor::VariableInterface*>( doc );
*
* if( iface ) {
* // the implementation supports the interface
* // do stuff
* }
* \endcode
*
* \see KTextEditor::Document, KTextEditor::Plugin
* \author Anders Lund \<anders@alweb.dk\>
