It's not an index. I am trying to store the data IDs from our server. 
The IDs are 64-bit integer. Everything in the system is addressed with 
the 64-bit ID. The data comes and goes constantly so the list of IDs 
fluctuates a lot. A ID to index map (actually 2 maps since I need to map 
both ways) is possible but that increases the complexity unnecessarily. 
A lot of care has to be taken to make sure the maps are up-to-date and 
no QModelIndex is holding stale index.

I'll just have to try something else...
