                 properties_get is due to provide callers a way the fetch the
                 current properties implemented/used by the model. The event
                 EFL_MODEL_EVENT_PROPERTIES_CHANGED will be raised to notify
                 listeners of any modifications in the properties.

               The caller must ensure to call at least efl_model_prop_list
               before being able to see/set properties. This function sets
               a new property value into given property name. Once the
               operation is completed the concrete implementation should
               raise EFL_MODEL_EVENT_PROPERTIES_CHANGED event in order to
               notify listeners of the new value of the property.

               If the model doesn't have the property then there are two
               possibilities, either raise an error or create the new
               property in model

                At this point the caller is free to get values from properties.
                The event EFL_MODEL_EVENT_PROPERTIES_CHANGED may be raised to
                notify listeners of the property/value.

                 children_slice_get behaves in two different ways, it may
                 provide the slice if $count is non-zero
                 OR full range otherwise.

                 Since 'slice' is a range, for example if we have 20 childs a
                 slice could be the range from 3(start) with 4(count), see:

                 child 0  [no]
                 child 1  [no]
                 child 2  [no]
                 child 3  [yes]
                 child 4  [yes]
                 child 5  [yes]
                 child 6  [yes]
                 child 7  [no]

                 Optionally the user can call children_count_get to know the
                 number of children so a valid range can be known in advance.

                 See @.children_count.get

                  When efl_model_load is completed efl_model_coildren_count_get
                  can be used to get the number of children. children_count_get
                  can also be used before calling children_slice_get so a valid
                  range is known. Event EFL_MODEL_CHILDREN_COUNT_CHANGED is
                  emitted when count is finished.
