== Naming of functions and types if QList = QVector ==

We have QStringList, QVariantList and friends, which are aliases / subclasses of QList<QString> and so on.

Should they become QStringVector, QVariantVector; and the *List names stay, aliases for the *Vector names, mirroring QList and QVector themselves?

Another suggestion: Get rid if the aliases; use the fully-qualified types instead.

I'm always irritated if I open the documentation of QVariantList from within Qt Creator, and land on the QVariant docu instead. I'm interested in the features of the container, not the contained type.

And I have to remember if QStringList is the same as as QList<QString>, or if it's actually a different container with a different API.
