I revoke this request. I still need this API, but if I introduce 
KStatefulBrush (1), it will make more sense for kate to use that (with 
the addition of a const QColor& ctor) than this, leaving kcontrol/colors 
as the only user outside of KColorSchemePrivate and KStatefulBrush, and 
I'm increasingly less convinced it would make sense for the kcm to use 
it (actually, I'm rather suspecting the kcm will use plain old 
KColorScheme).
