    \brief The QAbstractGallery class provides a base class for gallery
    implementations.

    Classes implementing the QAbstractGallery interface allow
    QGalleryAbstractRequest implementations to connect to a gallery and
    execute a query or perform an action.

    The types of request that can be executed by a gallery are defined in
    QGalleryAbstractRequest::RequestType.  If a gallery supports a request the
    isRequestSupportedFunction() will return true when given the type of the
    request, and false if it is not supported.

    When a QGalleryAbstractRequest is executed it will call createResponse() on
    its gallery and pass a pointer to itself.  The gallery will then use the
    \l {QGalleryAbstractRequest::type()}{type} property of the request to
    determine its type and cast to the correct class.  Using the properties of
    the request a gallery can then create a QGalleryAbstractResponse which
    executes the requested task and returns any results.  Some requests will
    require the response to implement additional interfaces such as
    QGalleryResultSet to access the data produced in the response.
