The duchain has an already-working and efficient scheme for weak references to 
duchain objects, and I don't see a reason to do modifications to it. 
QWeakPointer is something completely different than KSharedPtr, and anything 
else but a drop-in replacement. So using QWeakPointer would require a lot of 
needless changes. If anything, it could replace DUChainPointer, but before you 
start doing something, you should define what issue you want to solve, and I 
don't see an issue here...
