	 * This class is the preferred way of loading RSS files. Usage is very
	 * straightforward:
	 *
	 * \code
	 * Loader *loader = Loader::create();
	 * connect(loader, TQT_SIGNAL(loadingComplete(Loader *, Document, Status)),
	 *         this, TQT_SLOT(slotLoadingComplete(Loader *, Document, Status)));
	 * loader->loadFrom("http://www.blah.org/foobar.rdf", new FileRetriever);
	 * \endcode
	 *
	 * This creates a Loader object, connects it's loadingComplete() signal to
	 * your custom slot and then makes it load the file
	 * 'http://www.blah.org/foobar.rdf' using the FileRetriever. You could've
	 * done something like this as well:
	 *
	 * \code
	 * // create the Loader, connect it's signal...
	 * loader->loadFrom("/home/myself/some-script.py", new OutputRetriever);
	 * \endcode
	 *
	 * That'd make the Loader use another algorithm for retrieving the RSS data;
	 * 'OutputRetriever' will make it execute the script
	 * '/home/myself/some-script.py' and assume whatever that script prints to
	 * stdout is RSS markup. This is e.g. handy for conversion scripts, which
	 * download an HTML file and convert it's contents into RSS markup.
	 *
	 * No matter what kind of retrieval algorithm you employ, your
	 * 'slotLoadingComplete' method might look like this:
	 *
	 * \code
	 * void MyClass::slotLoadingComplete(Loader *loader, Document doc, Status status)
	 * {
	 *     // Note that Loader::~Loader() is private, so you cannot delete Loader instances.
	 *     // You don't need to do that anyway since Loader instances delete themselves.
	 *
	 *     if (status != RSS::Success)
	 *         return;
	 *
	 *     TQString title = doc.title();
	 *     // do whatever you want with the information.
	 * }
	 * \endcode
	 *
	 * \note You have to create a copy of the passed Document instance in
	 * case you want/need to use it after the slot attached to the
	 * loadingComplete signal goes out of scope. This is e.g. the case if you
	 * intend to call getPixmap() on Document::image()!
