[Development] QScopedPointer and QObjects

[Matt Broadstone]

Hey all,
I've found more often than I'd like in my unit tests I'm writing a custom
deleter for QObjects when using a QScopedPointer. Something to the effect
of:

struct QObjectDeleter
{
    static inline void cleanup(QObject *pointer) {
        if (pointer)
            pointer->deleteLater();
    }
};

and then:

QScopedPointer<MyQObjectSubclass, QObjectDeleter> object;

Is there a reason this wasn't added for convenience? Or, would there be
interest in me submitting a patch to include this in a later version of Qt?
We should even be able to fix this seamlessly with templates unless I'm
mistaken.

Regards,
Matt
