it's cleaner, that's for sure. at the time i just wanted to get the
thing ported and it became very clear that using qtreewidget wasn't
going to do everything we wanted...

lol, i'm glad you noticed that. it originally was a list of QVariants.

two reasons really, one was that i can put custom types in toqvalue. it
gives me a little more flexibility so i can keep what originally came
from the database separate from what's displayed. and i don't have to
convert it to something qt understands before i need to.

then i also had a lot of problems figuring out the type stored in
qvariant. toqvalue has nice methods isInt, isDouble that only return
true if that was the original type stored. qvariant only provides
canConvert<double>(), which returns true for just about everthing i
tried.

it took me a while to figure out why my sorts were all out of whack on a
timestamp column, it was because the value was getting converted to a
double then sorted on. (query class returns that as a string.)
