Yes. There's a couple of man-decades worth of work to make entire Qt thread-
safe. Then there's the whole discussion about what to do in OOM situations and 
whether we can even reliably detect them, which I won't rehash here.

If you meant it restricted to a few classes, like containers, that's 
achievable within one year. If we decide to do that, to make it truly useful 
we probably should extend to all value-type classes, like QString and 
QNetworkProxy.
