	\brief The BGridLayout class a BLayout subclass that arranges the items it
	holds in a grid.

	Each item in a BGridLayout receives a rectangular area which can span more
	than a single row or column. The indexing of columns and rows is zero based,
	starting in the top-left.

	\warning This class is not yet finalized, if you use it in your software
	assume that it will break some time in the future.
