[Qt-creator] Quick test or scratch-pad mode in qtc?

[Jason H]

Someone already posted compiler explorer, which is pretty amazing. I've used it before.

But I wanted to ask about REPL? (https://repl.it/languages/) It supports C++, but not Qt (as far as I know, and even if it did, it would be limited) A REPL mode would be great for developing minimal example/test cases.
