Hi Thiago,

Before actually porting QList (esp. as I take the above to mean that QList 
won't be bound to void* slots anymore): Is there than *anything* in QList 
that QVector doesn't do at least as good or that could be ported over to 
QVector (reserving space in front for prepends comes to mind, though I'd 
argue that code that uses this a lot is broken by design anyway).

So, can we please just have the equivalent of
  template <typename T>
  using QList = QVector<T>;
after moving the members that QList has but QVector lacks over to QVector?

I'd be more than happy to volunteer a patch.

I haven't seen a single Qt developer team (Qt devs not excepting) that is 
fully aware of the performance characteristics and memory layout of QList. 
Most just use it because it has a nicer name than QVector.

Thanks,
Marc
