[Interest] QVariant cannot take custom type

[Aekold Helbrass]

So, it is absolutely impossible to use QObject-derived class with QVariant?
I'm storing QList of pointers already, and I want to write that with
QMetaProperty. The only thing that needs copy-constructor, in my
understanding, is qRegisterMetaType invocation.

I even read an article where guy explains how to get other types than one
you're storing, so it looks like there is no problem in storing QObject in
QVariant, but for some reason it doesn't work for me:
