1. The above means KReport links, btw :)

2. I've added to https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Porting_to_Qt%26KF_5
the following:

"Add tests and/or examples to KReport, make it easier to understand as
a framework; Port some code from Kexi Reports (e.g. KexiReportView) to
KReport "

This means... larger refactoring would be needed in Kexi/KReport to
make this true. This is why I propose to have it in post-3.0. This
does not mean unit test cannot be added now. Please consider adding
that... KReport has none!
