[Development] Future of java-style iterators?

Hi,

would QDirIterator[1] be part of this deprecation? Its API clearly seems 
be inspired by the Java-style iterators.

While I do not care much about the other Java-style iterators, I really 
like this iterator and use it a lot.
What would be this iterator's modern replacement in Qt?

Ciao
