In fact, it is-a QList<QString>. What's the problem here with its naming?

Because I can't QSringList{"me", "you"}.join() with a QList.

I didn't say that it's a typedef for QList<QString>, but is-a -- it inherits, precisely to provide that kind of convenience.

Thinking outsize of the box...
It seems that all this is cause d by someone wanting to store a pointer to an 
item in QVector, which may be reallocted and therfore have moved.

All this => what's this?

It seem then that the only thing to do is to use a traditional QList, or return 
only some kind of ref which will be a stable reference to the item.
QStableRef r9 = vector[9];
vector.resize()
// r9 is updated during resize() and still points to that it was meant to.
It's not good practice to store a ref to something that can be realloated. I don't 
know how you can prevent people from doing that with offering T& operator[](int 
i);

QList today offers exactly that. In array-of-pointers-mode it also offers stability of references.

Thanks,
