It's very confusing. You said yourself on https://woboq.com/blog/q_enum.html that "These enums are automatically declared as a QMetaTypes (no need to add them in Q_DECLARE_METATYPE anymore)." So Q_ENUM replaces Q_DECLARE_METATYPE and provides additional functionality but requires you to add an additional call to qRegisterMetaType? That seems backward. Can I use Q_DECLARE_METATYPE and Q_ENUM and avoid qRegisterMetaType?
