Not possible, because getXXX might modify data as the requested card
might not yet have been in the cache.

Theoretically getOrLoadXXX would be the right name, but I find that a
bit too verbose. And IMHO separating into 2 functions isn't of much use
as the client then has to do something like

QPixmap pix = cache.getCard(...);
if( !pix.isValid() )
  pix = cache.loadCard(...);
