+/**
+ * @brief Template based converter for getting complex data into or from TQT_DBusData objects
+ *
+ * Any data to transport over D-Bus, i.e. method/signal paramaters or properties, need
+ * to be converted into a TQT_DBusData instance.
+ *
+ * For complex types, e.g. structures or nested containers, this can be quite some code,
+ * and will likely be needed for more than one call.
+ * Therefore it is more convenient to implement the conversions once per complex type.
+ *
+ * Example: sending and recieving a TQRect over D-Bus.
+ * In D-Bus terminology a TQRect is a struct of four 32-bit signed integers. The code to do
+ * this manually looks like this:
+ * @code
+ * TQRect rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
+ *
+ * TQValueList<TQT_DBusData> structMembers;
+ * structMembers << TQT_DBusData::fromInt32(rect.x());
+ * structMembers << TQT_DBusData::fromInt32(rect.y());
+ * structMembers << TQT_DBusData::fromInt32(rect.wdth());
+ * structMembers << TQT_DBusData::fromInt32(rect.height());
+ *
+ * TQT_DBusData rectStruct = TQT_DBusData::fromStruct(structMembers);
+ * @endcode
+ * and reverse (without the error checking)
+ * @code
+ * TQT_DBusData dbusData; // assume we got this from a D-Bus call
+ *
+ * TQValueList<TQT_DBusData> structMembers = dbudData.toStruct();
+ *
+ * int x = structMembers[0].toInt32();
+ * int y = structMembers[1].toInt32();
+ * int w = structMembers[2].toInt32();
+ * int h = structMembers[3].toInt32();
+ *
+ * TQRect rect(x, y, w, h);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * Rather than implementing it in the method which performs the D-Bus call, basically the same
+ * code can be used as a spezialisation of the TQT_DBusDataConverter methods and then used like this:
+ * @code
+ * TQRect rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
+ * TQT_DBusData rectStruct;
+ *
+ * TQT_DBusDataConverter::convertToTQT_DBusData<TQRect>(rect, rectStruct);
+ * @endcode
+ * and
+ * @code
+ * TQRect rect;
+ * TQT_DBusData dbusData; // assume we got this from a D-Bus call
+ *
+ * TQT_DBusDataConverter::convertFromTQT_DBusData<TQRect>(dbusData, rect);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @note The bindings library tqcontains the spezialisations for TQRect, TQPoint and TQSize.
