For the record, it is not some "Qt" which imposes this, but CMake's automoc 
and it's primitive "automagic" estimation of header files to be moc'ed:
"
If an #include statement like #include "moc_foo.cpp" is found, the Q_OBJECT 
class declaration is expected in the header, and moc is run on the header 
file.
"
where "header" seems hard calculated (missing documentation) by
	header_filename = $moc_filename - "moc_" - SOURCE_EXT + HEADER_EXT

And
"
Additionally, header files with the same base name (like foo.h) or _p appended 
to the base name (like foo_p.h) are parsed for Q_OBJECT macros, and if found, 
moc is also executed on those files.
"
