I'm so sorry! I swore I didn't know that was a forgery!
Now that's all your fault, you faked waaaay too convincingly the encapsulation 
of 12907 Qt methods.
Wait, I should have known better... it's too flawless to be real, therefore it 
doesn't exist!  :-)

I like "just backward compatible", when it means "I'm just on the verge of 
adding support for the awful lot of hopelessly unparsable KDE classes" ;)

As a matter of fact, yes. 
But you can sum up its capabilities like this:

QStrList props = obj->metaObject()->propertyNames( TRUE );
QStrList slts = obj->metaObject()->slotNames( TRUE );

Not really up to the Smoke standard if you ask me :)

For now, I simply piped pqtapi in the results with a basic cache, but the 
first call of each class is sloooooow... 
what would be the better way? Cache everything at start up?
