Thanks. This happens when one only ever looks at the source, not the docs...

Looks like this was mass-deprecated with all the other QtAlgorithms for 
Qt 5, and no-one looked twice. We can only deprecate it come C++20, when 
we can steer people towards std::ranges::swap() instead.

Will un-deprecate and pour some TLC over it.

Thanks,
Marc

PS: Looks like our IT made our Outlook wrap URLs in some wrapper that 
Thunderbird complains about. Sorry for the annoyance, everyone :(
