[Development] Usage of Q_OBJECT macro in QObject subclasses that don't use signals, slots, or properties

qobject_cast breaks; the meta object system reports and uses the wrong 
class name (so things like "inherits", "className" etc. don't work); 
tr() uses the wrong context; and so on.

qobject_cast breakage may be serious enough to justify an automatic -1 
to all public QObjects-without-Q_OBJECT classes.

Cheers,
