Yes! I agree: "QThread::wait and QThread::terminate are two very
different methods and do not do remotely the same thing.". I'm asking
about QThread::wait and QThread::sleep, but, Qt documentation suggest
"Use QThread::wait() after terminate() for synchronous termination.".
Some careless reader can understand "ONLY use QThread::wait() after
QThread::terminate()". As you say, it's safe (but not recommended) use
QThread::wait().

Whatever, the doubt was clarified.

Thank you very much again!
