My point is that a contribution to QtCore should use the most efficient method 
of getting the job done without undue complexity. That means I can accept 
inefficiencies provided they make the code more readable & maintainable than 
otherwise would have been, but not if they aren't justified.

You described a feature for QtCore. I don't see why you'd write it in 
QtConcurrent. Maybe it belongs in both: an enabling, lower-level and coarser 
API in QtCore, with a higher level in QtConcurrent.
