Some classes still only have Java-like iterators, not STL-like, so it 
would not make sense to deprecate them there.

QDirIterator, QRegularExpressionMatchIterator, (private) QStringIterator 
and similar don't have replacements yet.

Yes, one can wrap a Java iterator back into a range API (as I've done 
for QREMI, so you can use do `for (auto match : re.globalMatch(subj)`), 
but then one really wants C++20 for the algorithms.


Thank you,
