Right now developers misuse KToggleAction to create actions which change
labels and icons on click. I think there is a need for an action class
which can switch between two sets of labels and icons without being
checkable.

Example of uses are combined Play/Pause action in media players,
Reload/Stop in web browsers or the Split/Close button in Dolphin (which
does not abuse KToggleAction but probably implements something very
similar to what my class does).
