i think the reason we didn't have it before is that
QStringList
is effectively aQList<QString>
, so the idea was that you would doQList<QString>::from(&list).is_empty()
.As the question is do we want to duplicate the whole QList API again for QStringList here, it's unfortunate we can't inherit easily :-/ Initially we were thinking QStringList would have it's specific API and you get a reference to it casted to a QList if you need any of that API. (Guess maybe we need a mutable reference as well and it should be documented better?)

Yep we will duplicate it :(
If we don't duplicate it we need to add info about "QList::from(&list).is_empty()" for example.
Otherwise we don't know how to do it.
I had the problem when I wanted to implement test for qcommandlineparser
I used is_empty() but it was not defined :)

If we impl Deref for QStringList to QList then Rust might be able to infer that
.is_empty()
is actually.as_ref().is_empty()
🤔 Maybe this is the way to go ?There was a problem hiding this comment.

I agree that a
Deref
implementation would be best 🤔That should hopefully be rather easy to do 🤞
