[Interest] initialising a dictionary-type container instance with a static table?

[René J.V. Bertin]

Hi,

I must be overlooking or even forgetting something: is there a way to initialise a QMap or QHash instance with a static table, say when you're creating a fast lookup dictionary mapping enums or preprocessor tokens to a QString?

That's information known a compile time so I was expecting to be able to avoid adding each mapping explicitly with a sequence of

map[token] = "token";

statements. If that's indeed possible, the documentation doesn't really showcase it.

Thanks,

R.
