The result was that QHash has clear weaknesses compared to other 
implementations. It uses too much memory and certainly isn’t the fastest 
implementation. But std::unordered_map is just as bad, so there’s no point in 
using that to implement QHash.

Just to be devil's advocate, there is... As much as it's fun and everything implementing a container, just using std::unordered_map would have minimal effort on our side ("someone else's problem", and it's not even a random 3rd party, but a mandatory prerequisite for building Qt), and we can put in our API move-conversion between QHash / std::unordered_map.

I stopped thinking that Qt should provide "special" data structures (and for sure we should kill any QHash/QMap usage in our APIs); QHash can be as bad (or as good) as std::unordered_map, and if people need something more tailored for their use cases, there's plenty of 3rd parties to choose from. Or is there a political agenda here trying to promove QHash usage? :-)

Is the plan to also have QMap be backed by an hybrid solution (array-backed, etc.), or std::map, or something else?
