Review request for Calligra, Marijn Kruisselbrink and Sebastian Sauer.


Description
-------

TxORecord is deconstructed in places where QTextDocument is not a completely defined type (because that is only forward declared in the header with the declaration of TxORecord, excel.h. Delete on objects of incomplete type is just undefined, so not an error usually, thus the compiler will not stop on it, see e.g. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C++_Idioms/Checked_delete for the background.
Which means all QTextDocument members of TxORecord are currently leaked.

The most simple fix would have been to just remove the forward declaration of <QTextDocument>  with a #include <QTextDocument> in excel.h, so that QTextDocument is completely defined.

But somehow I was tempted to instead move the members to a private class, like all/most of the other record classes have, that way also moving the deletion of the QTextDocument member to records.cpp, where the type is completely defined.

Whatever you prefer, your choice, just tell.

Okay to backport to 2.7?
