1) I checked which functions returned an uchar* in the Qt includes. All of 
them are expected to be used to directly transform the data.

2) If the returned String when changed also affects the QImage, it makes 
sense. That is the intention for the bits method. (Checks on IRB... it does 
not).

3) I was blindly translating a C++ application to Ruby and stumbled on bits(). 
Now I did it in another way, maybe not as efficient though.

If 1) is true and 2) does not change (which I think is unlikely to do), this 
might have little sense.
