I agree in principle, but in practice widgets still need to be named in
some cases, so they still need to have a const char* name member. The
only improvement I can see is that a widget construction will be a wee
bit faster because that member will directly be initialized to 0 rather
than set to a '0' which comes from an argument in the higher level of
the construction. It does simplify the API though (and raise your hand
if you've never built a QLabel with its content in its object name :-) ).
