Well, that's why I did it like this in the first place (used to return 
rowCount() IIRC, no idea who changed that). As for "screw up any real view" 
the cheap trick is too mark the bad entries as "hidden", then you won't get 
empty rows in a qtreeview.

For the record, it's already a proxy model. And internally you'd have to make 
the index maps if you want to make it well behaved. Basically I didn't 
because:
1) I'm a lazy bastard and couldn't see the benefit to be well behaved in this 
context (kickoff isn't really well behaved in general);
2) That'd mean having maps of QPersistentModelIndex which auto-update 
(huzzah!), but are expensive to keep up to date (signal-slot going on in each 
persistent index for each model change).

Regards.
