This particular issue has come up so frequently in the last few weeks that 
this behavior change in Qt 6 sounds like a major design flaw of the Qt 6 
QHash to me. Also because it subtly breaks source compatibility in a way the 
compiler cannot possibly detect, with the worst possible outcome (undefined 
behavior). Only a sophisticated static analysis tool has any chance of 
catching this, if a dedicated check is written.
