The keys are used are used for a "quick lookup". In this special case the key
is the protocol (http,ftp,file). What unique key do you want to use? a serial
numbers that are increased for each entry? we would lose the only real
advantage of QMap I can see. Without a quick lookup for a special protocol we
could use QList or similar - that is what we have to do if the current
behaviour of QMap is not a bug.
