Yes, because the improvement, if it is one, should be made to std::min(), not 
qMin().

If it is an improvement, it will pass muster in the committee. If it isn't, it 
doesn't, and qMin() shouldn't have such a non-improvement, either.

They are. It took two decades for this bug to be noticed, and while it should 
be fixed, in std2, probably, code that relies on either behaviour must atm be 
considered buggy.
