This distinction sounds much like Kant's distinction between "Ding an
sich" (Thing-in-itself) and how it appears to us in his critique
of pure reason ;-)) 

Well, I don't want to get philosophical here. What I'm afraid of is that
there is a class KFoo which does something very different from QFoo.
What's the plan for the QCom* classes, anyway? The way they are currently
used by the Q*Plugin classes is totally overengineered.
