[Interest] 64 bit capable QVector

[Constantin Makshin]

Could you please explain (or give a link to an article or something like
that) the reasons Qt developers used to choose signed 32-bit integer for
this purpose?
Signed 32-bit container sizes, i.e. number of elements in a container,
would be acceptable (considering the equation 'n * sizeof(T)' for the
amount of memory consumed by the array alone) but why use them to
calculate and store sizes of allocated memory blocks?
