No.  This would be just additional functionality of the 
QIODevicePrivateLinearBuffer.
Since this buffer is available from QIODevicePrivate which itself is 
available to all descendants of QIODevice I could implement what I want 
by subclassing QSerialPort.

Yes, that's another option.  This way we still would be doubly searching 
for the delimiter (once in canReadLine and second time in readLine) but 
I can live with that :)
