Right, we usually work around this by having QMap<CaseInsensitiveString, X>.

This is something we should fix or 6.0, if we can accept the source 
compatibility break against forward declarations of QMap.

I don't see the need to do the same for QHash. How often do people need a 
different comparator and/or a different hashing function for a given class type?
