Sorry, I should clarify. The current application of the convention is very 
inconsistent across the Qt modules already.

I do not advocate to drop the convention especially when considering new API's. 
However sometimes there are extenuating circumstances which may provide reasons 
to not follow them. Under my proposal this would be such a case when weighing 
the two arguments.
