Yes, because the improvement, if it is one, should be made to std::min(), not qMin(). If it is an improvement, it will pass muster in the committee. If it isn't, it doesn't, and qMin() shouldn't have such a non-improvement, either. > which means that the STL versions are NOT "perfectly adequate". They are. It took two decades for this bug to be noticed, and while it should be fixed, in std2, probably, code that relies on either behaviour must atm be considered buggy.
