Sorry about that, was merely braindumping... something along the lines of
thinking about string-to-object conversions belonging to the interface of the
class converted to or not and then in the middle of that thought realizing
QDate already does have that included as a method and that representing a
date as a string or interpreting a string as a date has a lot to do with the
concept of date in general. No matter. These types of things have a habit of
flashing through my mind now and again.

I agree. As is adding the necessary methods to QByteArray and QUrl etcetera. I
would be quite happy if that was added to Qt...
