Correct - and Hannes Sixt pointed out to me privately that my
explaination was wrong (or complete bollocks as we say in England). It
seems I could fix SIP to get around this problem - but it's not high on
the list of priorities given this is the only example I know of in the
whole of Qt and Qt (at the very least) doesn't encourage you to
sub-class.
