Smart D-Ptr in KCoreAddons

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see d-ptr idiom as something ubiquitous in 
C++/Qt world, as it is in KDE. How many people write libs and care about ABI, 
if libstdc++ doesn't (for example, gcc 4.7 has a different abi for c++11-
compiled std::list code compared to c++98)?

Maybe Thiago could chime in on whether Qt is a place for something like this?

As I noted in my previous mail, it does support it now - it was one of the 
frequent requests (requested 3 times :) ) - a simple constructor that can 
receive a pointer to the private class as well as arguments for constructing 
it.

I'll see whether it could be done in a more fancy way than that.

Cheerio,
Ivan
