[Interest] Why QString and not std::string?

[Michael Seydl]

Nobody forces you to. Due to naming conflicts of slots and signals moc including boost can be quite a hassle. What I tried to say is std::string needs enhancement when QString is not available and that one good stable possibility is boost. 

Personally I used boost::bind and boost::function even in Qt projects sometimes, but that's just my odd preference in the light of slots and meta object method invocation. 

Greets,
Mike
