/**
Helper for type correct comparison of incidences via pointers.
This class provides a way of correctly comparing one incidence to another,
given two IncidenceBase derived pointers. It effectively provides a virtual
comparison method which first type checks the two pointers to ensure they
reference the same incidence type, before performing the comparison.
Usage example:
@code
KCal::Incidence *incidence; // assume this is set somewhere else
KCal::Incidence *referenceIncidence; // assume this is set somewhere else
KCal::ComparisonVisitor visitor;
// compare
if ( visitor.compare( incidence, referenceIncidence ) ) {
// incidence and referenceIncidence point to identical incidences
}
@endcode
