This assumption was already not true with Java 1.2, released December 8, 
1998. That release introduced java.util.List as a generic interface to ANY 
list, including ArrayList. QList was introduced with Qt 4, released June 28, 
2005. So it is unfair to blame Qt for not following the obsolete terminology 
you mention.
