This could be done "right now" if we add them in a separate namespace.
Whether changing qSort itself -- back in the day I didn't because it was
a SIC.

I would still be keen to call it a semi-unacceptable SIC today, even
after 9 minor versions, as people do not compile code with deprecation
warnings (*), so they have no idea that qSort should've not be used...

(*) we had discussion at the last QtCS, and I had to write patches and a
blog post about this, because our users didn't know!

Cheers,
