... compared to only getting one. This comment is there to prevent people
from using allMimeTypes and _then_ filtering the list. There are methods for this.

If you want them all, then it's find to use allMimeTypes, and to store
the names in a QStringList. The memory used by the mimetypes themselves
will be freed automatically (since KMimeType::Ptr is a KSharedPtr)

Out of interest, why do you want all mimetypes ?
