As well as the overt GTK-compatibility extensions, there's a lot of stuff in this Qt which hints quite loudly that many features hereinbefore disparate [count dem syllables!] are now being integrated, & the gaps between components & features are being collapsed & filled.

Widget Stylesheets, for example, first look like a completely new layer but really they're "simply" the closing of a few gaps in the pre-existing Qt structure. This manner of improvement seems to be pretty much endemic for Qt already, which implies even better things about the next round of closures and fillings-in.
