Enforcing "Use #include <QFoo> to include the definition of QFoo" is just as easy.
Even more easy (copy/paste). Most Windows developers like to copy/paste *a lot*,
(probably due to lack of tab-completion), which explains the "QValueVector.h" type of error.
So #include <QValueVector> actually makes more sense in that respect: easy to
achieve with both copy/paste and tab completion - neither of which works for lowercase includes.
