Hi Volker,

While porting KTimeTracker to KF5, I noticed that KCalCore lost KIO
support on the way from KDELibs4 to KF 5.0.

Of course I can subclass ICalFormat, but the FileStorage<->ICalFormat
relation looks weird to me: ICalFormat::save() is the method that
actually writes file to disk, while class name "ICalFormat" suggests
that it should only be concerned about iCal contents, not the I/O.

May be CalFormat should only implement marshal/unmarshal methods, then
actual r/w from disk can be done in FileStorage. Otherwise, for me to
add KIO support right now I need to subclass ICalFormat rather than
FileStorage which is weird.


P.S.  Sorry for the off-topic.
