Disclaimer: i don't know a thing about the C++ committee and how they
handle papers. What follows might be completely irrelevant if the paper was
rejected. Do you know if it is?

I've read about this range-based-for stuff before and there was this paper
[1] that apparently wants to introduce the next generation of it. It would
introduce the syntax (WITHOUT auto!):
for (elem : range)

Which would be exactly the same as:
for (auto&& elem : range)

Now i wonder, even if that paper is accepted, would it solve the issue for
the Qt containers when that syntax would be used on them?
