+/*! \brief Abstract class to resolve the resource and act on it
+ *
+ * This class encapsulates the logic of resolving a Matrix identifier or URI
+ * into a Quotient object (or objects) and calling an appropriate handler on it.
+ * It is a type-safe way of handling a URI with no prior context on its type
+ * in cases like, e.g., when a user clicks on a URI in the application.
+ *
+ * This class provides empty "handlers" for each type of URI to facilitate
+ * gradual implementation. Derived classes are encouraged to override as many
+ * of them as possible.

+/*! \brief Resolve the resource and invoke an action on it, via Qt signals
+ *
+ * This is an implementation of UriResolverBase that is based on
+ * QObject and uses Qt signals instead of virtual functions to provide an
+ * open-ended interface for visitors.
+ *
+ * This class is aimed primarily at clients where invoking the resolving/action
+ * and handling the action are happening in decoupled parts of the code; it's
+ * also useful to operate on Matrix identifiers and URIs from QML/JS code
+ * that cannot call resolveResource() due to QML/C++ interface limitations.
+ *
+ * This class does not restrain the client code to a certain type of
+ * connections: both direct and queued (or a mix) will work fine. One limitation
+ * caused by that is there's no way to indicate if a non-Matrix URI has been
+ * successfully resolved - a signal always returns void.
+ *
+ * Note that in case of using (non-blocking) queued connections the code that
+ * calls resolveResource() should not expect the action to be performed
+ * synchronously - the returned value is the result of resolving the URI,
+ * not acting on it.
