Well, this is one of the reasons why I think Qt containers should stay as 
is, with CoW, with the current QList, etc. (The main other reason is that I 
don't see them as being broken in any way. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.)

I can have a look, but I don't want to make any promises, I have lots of 
stuff on my plate, and fixing Qt code in classes whose source code I have 
(probably) never even looked at yet is not the most inviting task.
