Qt uses that construct in its GUI types that are part of QVariant. I see 
no problem doing that in our own code as well.

The only difference is that KUrl defines the operator inline, inside the 
class definition, in the .h. Apparently we can't do that: the operator 
should just declared in the .h and implemented separately in the .cpp. 
That should solve Harri's build problem.
