[Interest] move methods in QList

[André Somers]

std::list cannot be compared to QList, and likely neither data structure
is what you are looking for. QList should, IMO, not be used for new code
if it can be avoided, and is certainly not suitable for using with
anying Big. With big as in: bigger than size of a pointer. And
linked-lists like std::list should not be anyones choice of data
structure unless they have very specific requirements that make such
structures outperform other data structures.
