I had missed half of the thread and jumped to conclusions - sorry.
I changed the wiki to say "TBD". Let's finish the discussion first.

So here's another attempt at summarizing what we could do:

//Include all classes of a library in Qt Esssentials or of an add-on that
was a Qt4 library 

#include <QtFoo> 

//include a class from Qt Essentials or from an add-on that was a Qt4 lib

#include <QSomeClass>

//Include all classes from Qt Add-on Foo
//For consistency, this should work for former Qt4 libraries too
#include <QtAddOn/Foo/Foo>

//Include a class from Qt Add-on Foo
#include <QtAddOn/Foo/QSomeClass //class name doesn't have to have the Q
prefix

Cheers,
Henry, who is almost ready to leave for a long vacation :-)
