Personally, I'm a fan of AAA :-). However that's not an option for Qt
because there is no reasonable way to use it while still supporting
C++98. Ergo, comparing 'auto' to Q_NULLPTR is apples and oranges.

That said, I'm also a fan of using nullptr everywhere... and Q_NULLPTR
*does* allow using it when possible while still being C++98 compatible.

(Yes, *everywhere*. IMHO, '0' as a null pointer constant is an
anachronism that can and should be avoided in modern code. I would
happily enforce a rule to that effect.)
