The most prominent difference is the (usually) per-class automatic context
which I always found too clever to be sensible, and that's effectively
also the only reason to need a C++ parser.
Indeed, while 'context' is a useful concept, the (implementation) class
name often isn't the best 'context' from a more general point of view
(features, human translators, screenshots). And if a class does not
inherit from QObject, the context already needs to be declared explicitly.
Given the Qt Creator example, would it be feasible to make explicit
declaration of a file's context mandatory, at least for the existing
("fast") parser? If not mandatory, an explicit declaration could at
least disable all automatic detection for the rest of the file, making
it possible to use modern C++ without surprises.
Maybe this could be complemented by a lconvert feature to rename a
context in an existing ts-file, for those who want to move away from
class names as contexts.
