+ * This class wraps a @ref KConfigSkeletonItem and invokes a function whenever the value changes.
+ * That function must take one quint64 parameter. Whenever the property value of the wrapped KConfigSkeletonItem
+ * changes this function will be invoked with the stored user data passed in the constructor.
+ * It does not call a function with the new value since this class is designed solely for the kconfig_compiler generated
+ * code and is therefore probably not suited for any other usecases.
