[Development] Qt Platform Extras

[Knoll Lars]

Actually, I would like Qt Addons to live in a namespace, esp. for new
ones. The namespace name ought the be the same as the module's name. This
is really there to avoid name clashes with other parts of Qt. With a
namespace, you have all the freedom you want on how to name methods
inside. developers using the module can simply use a using declaration,
and then won't have to worry about long names.

Cheers,
Lars
