Chicken-and-the-egg.
What I meant was that I don't see value in adding them to QtCore unless our
own API is using them. It would increase confusion, increase build time and
would not improve our performance. In fact, it might even make it worse since
there would be limited data sharing between the two sets of classes.
Adding the new QVector class to a separate, downloadable module is quite easy.
It is currently using undocumented API in QtCore (QArrayData) but that API's
semantics get pretty well-defined due to the use in inline functions elsewhere.
However, adding the new QByteArray and QString doesn't make sense since it
would require duplicating everything that is not inline, or jumping through
hoops to share it. I am not looking forward to doing that work, but if someone
else is, be my guest.
