Correction: in Qt5, it is sometimes a vector, and sometimes a 
vector-like container that uses indirect storage. It is never a linked 
list (although the latter may be somewhat more list-like than vector-like).

...and are we just missing that container type in Qt6?

Can we please *not* get rid of a useful container type that has no STL 
equivalent?
