It's laudable that you're doing work on the containers, however I don't share 
that sentiment.

That may be so. But most of what is _missing_ is implementable in Qt 5:

- equal_range on hashed containers
- range inserts, ctors, assignments
- exception safety guarantees
- move semantics on realloc / insertions
- emplace (with Q_COMPILER_UNIFORM_INIT ifdef)
- not requiring op= / default ctor in QVector
- move-only payload types (hard with CoW)
- splicing in node-based containers (hard with CoW)
- atomic operations on QSharedPointer
- alias ctors for QSharedPointer
- changing iterator → const_iterator in insert / erase arguments
  (hampered by QT_STRICT_ITERATORS preventing iterator → const_iterator
  implicit conversions, otherwise one could write erase loops over node-based
  containers that only detach when actually removing an element)
- ...

Thanks,
Marc
