Yes, I've complained that most distros can't seem to compile them to be 
compatible correctly. But that's not Qt's problem that one (or most) of them 
fail to do their job properly.

In a properly configured environment, there could be users who want to perform 
this mixing.

But no, I don't think we should use that as an argument for avoiding Standard 
Library API in our classes. For example, we should use std::unique_ptr.
