I fully agree here too, but one question about the syntax: is operator
overloading a better way here? Like
- config->group("Some Group Name")->readEntry("Some Key");
+ config[ "Some Group Name" ][ "Some Key" ];
It seems to me that KDE dislikes this syntax, because it is hardly used, but
I wonder why. Hence the question...
