While discussing the QtDBus API here at Trolltech, we came to the 
conclusion that QDBusInterfacePtr and what you seek are the same thing: a 
tuple of three QStrings. So I'm probably going to convert into a struct 
with service, object path and interface and allow you to send it over the 
bus.

Next, since I restored full 1:1 type compatibility, the introspection 
Q_CLASSINFO is unnecessary. I'm thinking of dropping it. But in any 
event, you can write adaptors and objects without it -- the XML will be 
generated on the fly.

In fact, if you dbuscpp2xml | dbusxml2cpp a class that was generated by 
dbusxml2cpp in the first place, you'll get the same output. Same thing 
the other way around.
