"Historically, Qt used to provide functions which were direct equivalents of

keep the old code compiling)."
The algorithms were deprecated because there aren't two ways of implementing a
binary search. So the Qt implementations were direct duplication, no way
around them.
The only thing that changed is that the Qt functions had a couple of
convenience overloads that operated on the entire container, as opposed to an
iterator pair. Many people found them, well, convenient.
The containers, however, are quite different. The two most important
differences are:
1) implicit sharing
2) better naming of functions
[#2: obviously, in our opinion]
Of course, and thanks for the clarification. I wanted to make sure I had my
team follow the recommended course of action with regard to this when we start
any new Qt5-based development.
