Rock and roll! \\nn//

Let's not do it then. :)

- value<T>
Using templates when you know the 2 types it will have is not better
than just making both methods.

- variant<Something>/QPair<>
It's hard to read the code afterwards.

What about having a new class (In KCoreAddons? KCalCore?) to replace
KDateTime in PIM?

Something like:
class Occasion
{
QDateTime dateTime() const;
QDate date() const;
bool isAllDay() const;
}

HTH,
