QVector does not comply and does not intend to comply with the standard's 
requirements. In fact, it intends to deviate from some of the requirements, 
especially those relating to exception-safety and some of the complexity 
requirements. And obviously QList does not comply with the standard's list 
requirements, since it's the same as QVector in Qt 6.  It's intentional.

Therefore, cppreference is irrelevant for the discussion.
