- * The purpose of this interface is to allow a direct communication between
- * a KPart and the hosting browser shell (for example Konqueror) . A
- * shell implementing this interface can propagate it to embedded kpart
- * components by using the setBrowserInterface call of the part's
- * KParts::BrowserExtension object.
- *
- * This interface looks not very rich, but the main functionality is
- * implemented using the callMethod method for part->shell
- * communication and using Qt properties for allowing a part to
- * to explicitly query information from the shell.
- *
- * Konqueror in particular, as 'reference' implementation, provides
- * the following functionality through this interface:
- *
- * Qt properties:
- * <code>
- * Q_PROPERTY( uint historyLength READ historyLength );
- * </code>
- *
- * Callable methods:
- * <code>
- * void goHistory( int );
- * </code>
