I don't see any multiple inheritance that forms a diamond. And although I
like the older syntax better, I don't see what's the problem with the new
syntax here. This:

QObject * a = new A;
QObject * b = new B;
QObject::connect(a, A::someSignal, b, B::someSlot);

should be working just fine. Plus I don't see a reason for the asQObject()
method, qobject_cast or dynamic_cast would be much simpler and cleaner.
