Do you hack on Qt itself often ? Overloads are more common in libraries, true, 
but that's a rather specific case. In applications they are more rare, so 
IMHO in the general case you don't need the whole method signature.

That's true, Idea solved this by automagically opening all the intermediate 
nodes between the top node and the result, I hope Eclipse will add this 
eventually.

Centrinos aren't heavy-duty procs if I recall correctly. More RAM would 
probably buy you a bit more performance, though.

Actually that should be plenty enough for 3.2, I've just checked and mine 
actually has a 256Mb heap, and it happily handles the 250+KLOCs of the 
Rosegarden source tree. I have an dual core amd64 though.
