#' Create a XML node "valueslot" for RKWard plugins
#'
#' @param label Character string, a text label for the valueslot.
#' @param source Either a character string (the \code{id} name of the \code{valueselector} to select values
#'    from), or an object of class \code{XiMpLe.node} (whose \code{id} will be extracted and used). If it is not
#'    a \code{<valueselector>} node, you must also specify a valid property for the node.
#' @param property Character string, valid property for a XiMpLe node defined by \code{source}. In the XML code, it
#'    will cause the use of \code{source_property} instead of \code{source}. Only used if \code{source} is not a
#'    \code{<valueselector>} node. 
#' @param required Logical, whether the selection of values is mandatory or not.
#' @param multi Logical, whether the valueslot holds only one or several objects.
#' @param duplicates Logical, if \code{multi=TRUE} defines whether the same entry may be added multiple times. Sets \code{multi=TRUE}.
#' @param min If \code{multi=TRUE} defines how many objects must be selected. Sets \code{multi=TRUE}.
#' @param any If \code{multi=TRUE} defines how many objects must be selected at least if any
#'    are selected at all. Sets \code{multi=TRUE}.
#' @param max If \code{multi=TRUE} defines how many objects can be selected in total
#'    (0 means any number). Sets \code{multi=TRUE}.
#' @param id.name Character vector, unique ID for the valueslot.
#'    If \code{"auto"}, the ID will be generated automatically from \code{label}.
#' @param help Character string or list of character values and XiMpLe nodes, will be used as the \code{text} value for a setting node in the .rkh file.
#'    If set to \code{FALSE}, \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.rkh.scan]{rk.rkh.scan}} will ignore this node.
#'    Also needs \code{component} to be set accordingly!
#' @param component Character string, name of the component this node belongs to. Only needed if you
#'    want to use the scan features for automatic help file generation; needs \code{help} to be set
#'    accordingly, too!
#' @param i18n Either a character string or a named list with the optional elements \code{context}
#'    or \code{comment}, to give some \code{i18n_context} information for this node. If set to \code{FALSE},
#'    the attribute \code{label} will be renamed into \code{noi18n_label}.
#' @return An object of class \code{XiMpLe.node}.
