Fair enough, but seeing all the commits flying by that add Q_D_O to "fix 
warnings with clang", it's not hard to imagine that a) the problem will solve 
itself by a grass roots movement and b) people will a not-too-unrealistic 
future warning will complain not just about inconsistent use, but any missing 
override, like the already-existing warnings for nullptr. So if 5.6 is 
anything near 4.8, we'll probably add those macros to a point release, by 
popular demand.

Thanks,
Marc
