\class QxtNullable QxtNullable
\inmodule QxtCore
\brief distinct null value compatible with any data type.
in general it's a templated abstraction to allow any data type to be
expressed with a null value distinct from any real value. An example
of such a use is for optional arguments.
\n
prepare a function for argument skipping:
\code
void somefunction( qxtNull(int,a) , qxtNull(int,b) )
{
if (!a.isNull())
{
int i = a.value();
//do something with i
}
if (!b.isNull())
{
int x = b.value();
//do something with x
}
}
\endcode
usage:
\code
somefunction(SKIP,1,2);
somefunction(3,4);
somefunction(3,SKIP,6);
somefunction(1);
\endcode
