// CLASS DEFINITION
/**
 * Base class for specialized PIMList classes.
 *
 * @par About item creation: New PIMItem-derived classes are created during list
 *      update. The list is updated whenever items are enumerated with one of
 *      the items() methods. During the update native-originated changes are
 *      synchronized. When items are enumerated for the first time from the
 *      list, whole content of the corresponding native database is considered
 *      as new items and are created at that time. See updateList() method.
