Ah, I see what you mean, qlist.h includes <list> for std::list<->QList conversion.
And I see now that it has changed since Qt3. In Qt3 QT_NO_STL also disabled the stl-compatible
typedefs in the Qt collection classes. But not so in Qt4 anymore, the typedefs are always there,
so STL algorithms can be used, it's just the conversion to/from STL classes that would be out
by default - which confirms the idea of having QT_NO_STL by default then, and let code
that needs it use remove_definitions(-DQT_NO_STL).
E.g. back to the initial question:
> My app uses some boost libraries and thus depends on the Qt STL support.
Does it really need conversion to/from STL classes? Isn't it enough to use the Qt containers
as the almost-stl-compatible containers they are? (almost: no reverse iterators!)
