FYI, I wrote QMaybe some 9 to 10 years ago, when D-Bus was discussing having 
maybe types.

https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#idm423, see "Reserved 
for a 'maybe' type compatible with the one in GVariant, and must not appear in 
signatures used on D-Bus until specified here"

Since it didn't happen there, it didn't happen for us either.

And QList is not a linked list.
