Neither does <QObject>. Whether or not <QObject> should be allowed (vs.
<QtCore/QObject>) is an interesting discussion, but not one I was trying
to make.

I think we're arguing for different points. It's not the specific name
that matters to me as that there is *some* header which is named
according to modern C++ convention (in particular, no ".h"). If we have
those for e.g. <QObject>, then IMO we should have them for *all* public
headers. Or we shouldn't have them at all.

I agree that having modules and conceptual groups use the same naming
convention is unfortunate, but I disagree that not providing
modern-named headers *at all* is the correct solution to that problem.
