 * \brief   A custom event that is designed to be fired when a layer count has been fully calculated.
   \author  Brendan Morley
   \date    March 2005

   
   This QCustomEvent is designed to be fired when the full item count of a layer has been calculated.
   It was initially included in QGIS to help the QgsPostgresProvider provide the asynchronous
   calculation of PostgreSQL layer counts.
   
   Events are used instead of Qt signals/slots as events can be received asynchronously,
   which makes for better mutlithreading behaviour and less opportunity for programmer mishap.
