Almost. That wasn't VS2005 (a.k.a VS 8.0) that had the problem. It was VS 6.0, 
which predated the C++98 template definition.

You can still see a bunch of other relics of that in template functions that 
take an extra T* parameter that is defaulted to nullptr. They're usually 
#ifdef'ed out for QDoc.
