Basically the discussion is: what should happen to QArrayList<int> or 
QArrayList<void *>?

 a) fail to compile
 b) become an array list
 c) become a vector

I point out that (c) is what QList does, and we don't need the same behaviour 
as QList already has.

Marc proposed (a), which is the simplest solution to the problem. I wanted 
(b), which would require duplication of code and Marc was unwilling to do 
that.
