I will keep bringing them to the table because, as a documentation guy following this and other similar discussions, it looks like you (plural) are willing to ignore the importance of naming things in the API because of technical problems with implementations in C++.

This subthread wasn't arguing with that (and you've already got an
answer about why "implemented as a QVector" was a bad idea), but with
the formal fallacies in the arguments exposed so far (four in four
messages, and I'm not even counting the argument from authority when
CS/Math were brought to the table without an invitation).
