Well, there's a balance to be struck: putting them in the header ensures there 
is no runtime cost to programs that don't use the deprecated methods, as the 
code should be optimised away, that the library is always binary-compatible 
even if you compile it with deprecated code disabled (*_NO_DEPRECATED) and 
makes the header code document how to replace existing calls.  The downsides 
are an inability to fix the code later and an inability to access members of a 
private d-pointer class.  Neither of those are an issue here, as we're just 
renaming the method.

tl;dr: I disagree with Aleix, and think it should stay in the header.

Oh, and Aleix: could you please select the whole method when you're doing a 
comment like this, rather than just the first line? Otherwise it's a pain to 
see what you're referring to.  Thanks :-)

Non-void slots are only useful if they work as a slot (ie: have some sort of 
side-effect) and might be called directly or with QMetaObject::invokeMethod().  
If the method is const (like a getter), there's no point having it a slot at 
all; if you want to be able to use it with invokeMethod, you can just make it 
Q_INVOKABLE.
