It's an interesting solution, but I'm (slightly more) interested in symmetry
between the functions which return uchar* and those which take uchar* as an
argument. For example, the QImage.loadFromData method can take a string as an
argument so you might expect QImage.bits to automatically return a string.

This is obviously going to be more work. Your solution is probably just as
convenient, and more generally useful.
