QT4 macros make it really easy to implement shared d-pointers. So i’m
going to go ahead and update a lot of the libavogadro code so that it
uses shared d_ptrs… specifically Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE(Class) and
ClassPrivate * const d_ptr.
This way when we move libavogadro over to Kalzium we don’t need to worry
about if we ever need to subclass anything in our library. I want to do
it now because of all the binary compatibility stuff. Just seems like a
good precaution.

I think that’s a good idea! In case you find it useful, techbase.kde.org has
some documentation:
