SqlRegistry API question

[Alexandre Oliveira]

Actually, I do think the whole application should only use DataPtrs
whenever possible.
But anyway, there's a simple reason for that: casting a whole QList at
once isn't very nice, and CollectionModel will only use QLists of
MetaPtrs most of the time. Ideally it would only use MetaPtrs.
We'll probably need both methods. Better than having loops for
"casting" the QLists duplicated throughout the code.
