Ah, I've been thinking along the same lines since I saw Alexander's nice work.
I think the most sensible solution would be to stick all global scope 
functions into the _same_ pseudo-class, from where we could export them at 
will.
Maybe it would need a specific naming convention to avoid the confusion with 
documented Qt classes (right now, QFriendOperators shows up in introspection 
tools as an ordinary class and is potentially confusing for users)

What about Qglobal ?
Qt::global::bitBlt() looks fine to me as a fully qualified call.

And it could accomodate also q([A-Z])([a-z]+) functions, for instance as
"Qt::global::" . lc($1) . $2 ?

mmmh... I thought it was just me.

Oh I see... Alexander wanted to silent the -Wnon-virtual-dtor warning, so he 
added "virtual" to the smoke dtors.
This is wrong, because it enforces a virtual dtor on classes like QRect, 
QPoint, QFont, et al.
