 I see arguments for and against a qError, but I haven't seen an argument
against qInfo.

I believe that regardless of the outcome for qError, I think the addition
of a qInfo would be greatly welcomed.  I would like to present to the user
some runtime information that is not intended for debugging but could be
some good metrics about how the application is performing.  This also flows
nicely with the logging framework as well.
