Sorry, what is the point? Is it hard to read, write, teach, learn, 
understand, extend...? What is the baseline we're comparing it against?

A bit too convenient to just ask someone else to do a _lot_ of work for 
you... anyhow, you don't have to wait:

And again, why should Qt invest precious development bandwidth 
reinventing half-cooked solutions for problems solved in an excellent 
way elsewhere? As I said in the other thread, not using C++-latest costs 
_you_ more. It shouldn't cost anything for Qt.

My 2 c,
