Type hierarchies have always described the ancestry of a selected
class. I actually can't think of any class viewers offhand that show
derived classes unless they're full-project analysis tools. (It would
kinda get out of control anyway, look at QWidget!)

Fact is, you can always draw an ancestry diagram because all of the
relevant classes MUST be fully-defined in the scope. The descendants
could be anywhere -- there's no link from a superclass to the
subclasses, not in code, not in the binary. QObject has documented
subclasses that aren't even defined in the same library.
