Hehe, thanks for the chuckle, I was just about to write a similar story ;)

In fact, I'll prefer anytime the Qt equivalent to any << c++11<cast
foo>(_std_api).STL_there_is<<42_because&(it'\\s_easier_to_read (same
goes for boost - sorry), even if I loose 10% of performance, but gain
just 11% of readability and ease of use!

Cheers, Oliver
