In QBind you do not need to register types at runtime and you avoid losing data silently (instead you have static_asserts complaining at compile time).
The whole idea, is to provide (de)serialization mechanism in scenarios, when one cannot know the type staticaly, but can get it dynamicaly in a statically typed language. In general one has to provide a void pointer and type enumeration. But Qt already happens to have rich type information, while C++ trails a bit. And that is QVariant+QMetaType. The only thing in cannot do right now is operating on containers. And that's what I wanted to discuss.
