Not all problems. Because of the exception safety guarantees, some types 
(notably std::vector) might need to copy everything when extending the buffer. 
Otherwise, if an item threw while copying, it would be impossible to restore 
the previous known, good state and rethrow.

QVector doesn't need to do that. If it could extend its buffer without moving 
it, it would do just that and "damn the exceptions".

We're just waiting for N3495[1]. See also my post:
