I really think this is a really good chance for maintaining code. I  
mean, if we create an enum where all new "fake virtual methods" have  
been added, is just a matter of reviewing each enums of that kind to  
see what needs to be added as virtual for a next "big" KDE version.

It is less evident with meta-method mechanism because everything is a  
bit "mixed".

As I said on a previous posting, instead of an "int id" for the method  
id, we could add an enum that would live in the base class, so it is  
only a matter of checking those base classes when for example, working  
on the transition from KDE 5 to KDE 6.

We lose parameter type checking at compiling time, but well... nothing  
is perfect.
