I think the impedance mismatch here is that you use "list" to mean the same 
thing as "array" or "vector" (in STL terms, not mathematically) while I only 
use it to mean "linked list", in accordance with the STL.

That just goes to show how bad of an influence QList has. But it never hid its 
design, and, indeed, the "default container" in Qt 3 was QValueList, which 
actually *was* a doubly-linked list. Why Qt always nominates a list as the 
default container while the STL recommends std::vector is one of the mysteries 
to which only Trolls know the answer :)
