Qt Creator will now no longer replace . with -> for primitive types, 
fixing the primary annoyance.

Doing the correct completion would be more tricky, since it requires 
dealing with + operator and implicit type conversion. For the moment Qt 
Creator just takes the first operand of the binary operator.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
