The goal: Make it possible to create, modify, open and save KReport designs without touching the designer API.
New classes and relations between them proposed:
- KReportDesign: setContent(xml) loads, toString() saves, modelled after
- We don't use KReportDocument name for this because actual document is: design+data
- KReportDocument: design+data so it's more or less takes KReportDesign and KReportData args.
- KReportDocument can be rendered on a KReportWriter
- KReportWriter is equivalent of QImageWriter, can use files or QIODevices
- Inherit KReportWriter to implement what we so far call 'renderers'
- KReportDocument+KReportWriter is like QPainter+QPaintDevice
