//! # KI18n-rs
//! KI18n is a cross-platform internationalization framework used by KDE applications. This crate is meant to allow using KI18n with
//! Rust and [qmetaobject-rs](https://github.com/woboq/qmetaobject-rs) crate.
//! # Introduction
//! KI18n is a cross-platform internationalization framework used by KDE applications. This crate
//! is meant to allow using KI18n with Rust and [qmetaobject-rs](https://github.com/woboq/qmetaobject-rs) crate.
//!
//! # Motivation
//! I love KDE. I have been using it as my primary DE for quite a while. I also like Rust Programming Language.
//! Currently, it is nearly impossible to use any KDE frameworks from Rust without some C++ FFI. While FFI is
//! never easy, complexity with C++ is exponentially more than plain C due to the Object-Oriented nature of C++,
//! which is entirely different from Rust's somewhat functional design.
//!
//! If possible, I would like the Tier-1 KDE Frameworks to be usable from pragmatic Rust in a somewhat natural
//! fashion. I am currently interested in KDE frameworks that are usable with QML.
//!
//! # Requirements
//! This crate requires KF5I18n to be installed or at least present in the system.
//! ## Ubuntu
//! ``` shell
//! sudo apt install libkf5i18n-dev
//! ```
//! ## Arch Linux
//! ``` shell
//! sudo pacman -S ki18n
//! ```
//!
//! # Custom Location for KF5I18n
//! The crate searches from KF5I18n using either the environment variables (KF5_I18n_INCLUDE_PATH and KF5_I18n_LIBRARY_PATH) if they are set or just
//! searches at /usr/include /usr/library
//! The crate searches from KF5I18n using either the environment variables (`KF_VERSION`,
//! `KF_INCLUDE_PATH` and `KF_LIBRARY_PATH`) if they are set or uses `kf5-config` to find the paths.
//!
//!
//! # Example
//! ```ignore
//! ```rust
//! use cstr::cstr;
//! use qmetaobject::prelude::*;
//! use ki18n::KLocalizedContext;
