Another thing to keep in mind is that QScopedPointer is also partially redundant with std::auto_ptr. Yet, it exists and people use it instead.
QScopedPointer is also used in many classes as a member, which conflicts with its name, and it does that job pretty well anyway.

The way I see it is that its name is just too specific to encapsulate all the situations where it can be useful.

My name is Jocelyn, it's a girl name in english speaking countries, but that doesn't mean I should behave like a girl there.

Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,
