Actually, this *is* a solution. If we change the return value of the virtual
createRequest to int and keep the arguments, someone trying to override it
with the standard function would get a compiler error:

<stdin>:1:224: error: conflicting return type specified for ‘virtual
QNetworkReply* Derived::createRequest(QNetworkAccessManager::Operation, const
QNetworkRequest&, QIODevice*)’
<stdin>:1:105: error:   overriding ‘virtual int
QNetworkAccessManager::createRequest(QNetworkAccessManager::Operation, const
QNetworkRequest&, QIODevice*)’

We can use a return type like
ThisFunctionIsDeprecated_InsteadPleaseOverride_createReply.

That said, I don't think it's worth it. Just leave it alone.
