[Interest] move methods in QList

[Andrew Ialacci]

I personally favor QVector and use it instead of QList.

There are times though when you must use a QList because some class or function requires it. For example many of the Qt JSON classes deal with QLists instead of QVectors.

Take a read over this thread from SO:

Depending on your use case, also check out QVarLengthArray.

    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?
