I don't think we should give developers too many options. The power of a good
API does only work if it's used. So either you see your widgets as superiour and
then you should help with porting the applications and replace the kdatewidget
and kdatetimewidget or I would say there is little point in having yet another
k*date* class

I think there are plenty of cases where we would need something like that :)
But for me the question of namespaces arise when I see such a generic name.
