Anything that makes Qt, and thus c++, be used more places only serves to annoy me. (IMO, C++ should be banished; we have C for a systems language, and anyone wanting to use a high-level apps language should use a high-level apps language, not C with strap-on object-orientation. LISP comes to mind. Did someone order a /. flamewar?)
