Meaning we may not rely on
static QGlobalStatic<TYPE > this_##NAME;
to be atomic? Q_GLOBAL_STATIC obviously relies on it. And if we already rely 
on it, why not do it without QAtomic:

template <typename T> class KGlobalStatic2
{
public:
    T* pointer;
    inline KGlobalStatic2() : pointer(new T) {}
    inline ~KGlobalStatic2()
    {
        delete pointer;
        pointer = 0;
    }
};
 
#define K_GLOBAL_STATIC_THREADSAFE(TYPE, NAME)                          \
    static TYPE *NAME()                                                 \
    {                                                                   \
        static KGlobalStatic2<TYPE > this_##NAME;                       \
        return this_##NAME.pointer;                                     \
    }
