[Interest] Need argumentative help..... giving qobject copy/assignment constructor and put it in qlist/qmap

[Jérôme Godbout]

C4244 is particulary true since Qt mostly use int for every size matter,
which on 64 bits system generate a lot of warnings when connecting to Qt. I
hope we see a size_t or equivalent some day. I admit the int to unsigned
int is also a problem to become, -1 lead to 2^32 - 1, we can only do that
if you known negative number aren't used and should do a static_cast
or reinterpret_cast according to the situation and handle the conversion
properly.

C4244 should not be suspended, it's a true problem if the system ever reach
limit condition on those value. If you ever had the "chance" to debug a
case where this happen, you known this warning have it's purpose.
