Worth mentioning:

Something I would like to see is a KCmdLineArgs class in Qt(although I would 
give it a sensible name such as QApplicationArguments). One can argue it 
isn't critical, but I think it matters a lot for code consistency and how KDE 
code integrates with Qt.

It it is first of all basic functionality and its absence makes writing 
console apps messy. I'm surprised there haven't been enough requests for it 
or that Qt itself haven't needed it for its utilities.

For that reason, I wouldn't be surprised if such a basic class pops into Qt 
later on, and then we'll have KCmdLineArgs and Qt's(duplication, things that 
doesn't work together, confusion, etc).

Also, KCmdLineArgs::appName() duplicates QCoreApplication::applicationName()
(or no?) so at least somekind of alignment with the Qt 4.0-way of doing 
things is needed. I think there's more examples beyond appName().

It's not exactly a controversial idea to put such a thing in Qt, and it surely 
would be useful. Or what do ya say trolls? :)
