///! QML model reflecting a javascript expression
/// ScriptModel is a QML [Data Model] that generates model operations based on changes
/// to a javascript expression attached to @@values.
///
/// ### When should I use this
/// ScriptModel should be used when you would otherwise use a javascript expression as a model,
/// [QAbstractItemModel] is accepted, and the data is likely to change over the lifetime of the program.
///
/// When directly using a javascript expression as a model, types like @@QtQuick.Repeater or @@QtQuick.ListView
/// will destroy all created delegates, and re-create the entire list. In the case of @@QtQuick.ListView this
/// will also prevent animations from working. If you wrap your expression with ScriptModel, only new items
/// will be created, and ListView animations will work as expected.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```qml
/// // Will cause all delegates to be re-created every time filterText changes.
/// @@QtQuick.Repeater {
/// model: myList.filter(entry => entry.name.startsWith(filterText))
/// delegate: // ...
/// }
///
/// // Will add and remove delegates only when required.
/// @@QtQuick.Repeater {
/// model: ScriptModel {
/// values: myList.filter(entry => entry.name.startsWith(filterText))
/// }
///
/// delegate: // ...
/// }
/// ```
/// [QAbstractItemModel]: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qabstractitemmodel.html
/// [Data Model]: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquick-modelviewsdata-modelview.html#qml-data-models

/// The list of values to reflect in the model.
/// > [!WARNING] ScriptModel currently only works with lists of *unique* values.
/// > There must not be any duplicates in the given list, or behavior of the model is undefined.
///
/// > [!TIP] @@ObjectModel$s supplied by Quickshell types will only contain unique values,
/// > and can be used like so:
/// >
/// > ```qml
/// > ScriptModel {
/// > values: DesktopEntries.applications.values.filter(...)
/// > }
/// > ```
/// >
/// > Note that we are using @@ObjectModel.values because it will cause @@ScriptModel.values
/// > to receive an update on change.
///
/// > [!TIP] Most lists exposed by Quickshell are read-only. Some operations like `sort()`
/// > act on a list in-place and cannot be used directly on a list exposed by Quickshell.
/// > You can copy a list using spread syntax: `[...variable]` instead of `variable`.
/// >
/// > For example:
/// > ```qml
/// > ScriptModel {
/// > values: [...DesktopEntries.applications.values].sort(...)
/// > }
/// > ```
