Wrong. You have to add a dummy dtor if you try to be really sure that your 
dtor is called, but the assignment/copy ctr operators are not necessary. 

Furthermore as long as they're missing the compiler can do strength reduction 
which in some cases provides amazing speedup. My personal bet is that a lot 
of the QString speedups in Qt4 is actually just caused by the removal of the 
copy ctor on QChar.
