I don't think that knowing the typedef is that important for looking up stuff 
in the Assistant. What's important is the method name - if you have that, the 
Assistant provides you with all the relevant information. And if a method 
takes an QList<QObject*> instead of a QObjectList, I think everyone can guess 
that it could be the same.. ;-)
