Thank you. :) I've been advocating for a change like this for a long time. > > For reference the changes can be viewed here: > > http://codereview.qt-project.org/22063 > http://codereview.qt-project.org/22064 > > The first one introduces a Q namespace, which replaces the Q prefix in > Qt5.

Good way to achieve that imo. > > Still pending are patches to: > > - propagate the change to the various modules; > - drop the q prefix from file names > - update fixqt4headers script to automatically fix user code > - rename the Q::Qt namespace to Q::t Another advantage of this is that it will make it more difficult to use the same codebase with both Qt 4 and Qt 5. We keep on saying that after porting to Qt 5, you should never look back. Any technical measures we can take to discourage people from using Qt 4 anymore are welcome in my book. > > While we're at this, it would be good to improve our interoperability > with C++11.

An additional benefit of this is that classes such as Qt::string will be named the same as std::string. That should make it easier for people to port from non-Qt C++ code to the Qt equivalent classes if they add a 'using namespace Qt' or so to their code. > The extra separation > between words will be welcomed by those of us that use small fonts and > ALL-CAPS editors.

I can help out, but only until the end of today I'm afraid.
