 * @short An Attribute that marks that an entity should be hidden in the UI.
 *
 * This class represents the attribute of all hidden items. The hidden
 * items shouldn't be displayed in UI applications (unless in some kind
 * of "debug" mode).
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * @code
 *
 * using namespace Akonadi;
 *
 * ...
 * // hide a collection by setting the hidden attribute
 * Collection collection = collectionFetchJob->collections().at(0);
 * collection.attribute<EntityHiddenAttribute>( Collection::AddIfMissing );
 * new CollectionModifyJob( collection, this ); // save back to storage
 *
 * // check if the collection is hidden
 * if ( collection.hasAttribute<EntityHiddenAttribute>() )
 *   qDebug() << "collection is hidden";
 * else
 *   qDebug() << "collection is visible";
 *
 * @endcode
