[Qt5-feedback] null and QDateEdit/QDateTimeEdit

[S R]

I would love to see QDateEdit and QDateTimeEdit finally handle
null/empty values.  Yes, it is true you can write your own class to
handle this, but it seems like basic features like these are why
people use frameworks like QT-- so everyone doesn't have to write
basic functionality over and over again.

I really surprised this hasn't been addressed before by QT.  It seems
like it gets asked repeatedly over the last decade.  (See examples
below.)  It seems like it always "later version" until "too old".

If others are like me, they struggle with trying to make nulls work,
assuming of course that nulls are supported and that they just need to
figure out how to do it.  Then search the internet and find the old
bug reports and mailing list questions.  Then they ask again because
it is so hard to believe that it would still be true that nulls aren't
supported.

Thanks,
Sam
