I like delegating constructors, but we can't use them in Frameworks yet. :( The current compiler requirement policy is that we require a C++ compiler supported in the last 3 Qt minor releases (see https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Policies#Frameworks_Qt_requirements). This means Qt 5.7's compilers are the oldest compilers we support, and Qt 5.7 supports GCC 4.6 due to Ubuntu <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms-and-configurations.html#qt-5-7>. But GCC didn't support delegating constructors until GCC 4.7 <https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11>.
