[Interest] move methods in QList

[Michael Corcoran]

QList is basically an array of pointers. I'd suggest a read of https://marcmutz.wordpress.com/effective-qt/containers/. That's the best explanation of Qt containers (+ compared to STL) you're likely to find anywhere.

Subject: [Interest] move methods in QList

I'm interested in storing a big structure in QList, and I would like to
move it to the list, but unlike std::list QList does not seem to have
push_back(T&&), insert(..., T&&) etc.

Should I use std::list instead? Or use a QList of pointers (eg
QSharedPointer) to my structure? Or construct a default item and move my
new one over it, as in

Big itemToAppend;
QList<Big> list;
list.append(Big());
list.last() = std::move(itemToAppend);

Are there any plans to add the move methods to QList etc?
