I was part of that API discussion when you were away, Gunnar, so I'll chime in 
with my argument for doing it this way: If we do it in 5.1, we have to add 6 new 
constructors to QImage, in addition to the 10 existing ones. That will not make 
the documentation any more readable.

I'll let Alexandros answer the rest of the questions, but will just note that he 
has a complete and fairly polished implementation that he is ready to publish.
