/**
  @brief Implements recursive filtering of models

  QSortFilterProxyModel does not recurse when invoking a filtering stage, so that
  if a particular row is filtered out, its children are not even checked to see if they match the filter.

  For example, given a source model:

  @verbatim
    - A
    - B
    - - C
    - - - D
    - - - - E
    - - - F
    - - G
    - - H
    - I
  @endverbatim

  If a QSortFilterProxyModel is used with a filter matching A, D, G and I, the QSortFilterProxyModel will contain

  @verbatim
    - A
    - I
  @endverbatim

  That is, even though D and E match the filter, they are not represented in the proxy model because B does not
  match the filter and is filtered out.

  The KRecursiveFilterProxyModel checks child indexes for filter matching and ensures that all matching indexes
  are represented in the model.

  In the above example, the KRecursiveFilterProxyModel will contain

  @verbatim
    - A
    - B
    - - C
    - - - D
    - - G
    - I
  @endverbatim

  That is, the leaves in the model match the filter, but not necessarily the inner branches.

  QSortFilterProxyModel provides the virtual method filterAcceptsRow to allow custom filter implementations.
  Custom filter implementations can be written for KRecuriveFilterProxyModel using the acceptRow virtual method.

  Note that using this proxy model is additional overhead compared to QSortFilterProxyModel as every index in the
  model must be visited and queried.
