Would a patch that makes certain QList instantiations privately inherit 
QVector acceptable? I'm thinking QList<QModelIndex>, QList<QVariant>, mostly, 
probably others. That would require a patch that made QList and QVector 
identical, API-wise, and that, in turn, would require "using member;" support 
in the compiler (the QT_NO_USING define is still in the code).

Thanks,
Marc
