On the other hand, for the "container of bytes" QByteArray, one could imagine more potential cases. I would like to reiterate something I mentioned a few years ago: for coherence, values such as "QAbstractSlider::value" should also be qsizetype and not int. To scroll through a view of data (not necessarily in memory), it makes perfect sense to have a 64-bit range. Actually, it makes more sense than 64-bit containers... Hopefully for Qt7. (I have had this particular need for 10 years actually...)
