QRect must have the same semantics as it has today. Whether we want to add a 
*second* rectangle class with slightly different semantics, I'll leave up to 
the implementor.

I'd rather it were part of the template. That means whoever is implementing 
this template needs to add some magic for the logic for integers to be 
different from the logic from FP.

In time, it's usually a good idea to have a range of [start, end) -- that is, 
inclusive of the start and exclusive of the end. It's a matter of choosing the 
operators right when doing comparisons. But that implies on integer quantities 
that "end" is "the successor of the last valid element". That's an invariant 
that the STL iterators already match.
