One more comment: Sometimes I already have to use what "is already 
possible right now" due to lupdate's C++11 quirks, and in combination 
with the requirement to use a namespace to separate "my" class names 
from 3rd-party library identifiers, the verbose form actually spells:

QCoreApplication::translate("::MyNameSpace::Context", string)

Possible, but hardly bearable...
