Another suggestion: Get rid if the aliases; use the fully-qualified
types instead.
I'm always irritated if I open the documentation of QVariantList from
within Qt Creator, and land on the QVariant docu instead. I'm interested
in the features of the container, not the contained type.
And I have to remember if QStringList is the same as as QList<QString>,
or if it's actually a different container with a different API.
