That would be quite difficult.

Thinking about it, i would maybe do it like this:

QT_DEPRECATED void setOldString(const QString &oldString, 
                     class use_setNewString_instead *=0);

(But this trick cannot be used in a minor release as it changes the function 
signature)

I donn't think it is worth it.
The best way it to go have a look at the docs.

Yes they "should" :-)
In general they do. If they don't feel free to fix it.
