Have you seen the size of the GSL? I think I skimmed in one go through all the
source code when it was published, and I did it while commuting, on a mobile
phone. Maybe it's a tad larger now, but according to Mark's comment, stuff
like owner<T> could even be bundled/reimplemented.
I'm almost always on the side that would not like Qt to change at all if it's
to make it similar to the standard library API, but I've always had in the
mental to-do list some patch to Qt that would annotate when ownership of
QObjects is transferred ("I guess the QNetworkReply returned by QNAM::post has
a parent, because the docs don't say it should be deleted... Or should be?").
I though that qdoc would be the tool for this (like we have \threadsafe) but
stuff like owner<> and not_null<> are IMHO vastly superior. And at least they
chose reasonable names for these. :)
