I think one of the goals was for there to be type safety. qdicts store
void *s which is pretty clumsy.
I think you may be waiting to introduce QObject, but in the interim, you
should at least introduce a boxed type and have proper accessors in
qdict. For instance, instead of:
int f = (long)qdict_get(foo, "bar");
It should be:
int f = qdict_get_int(foo, "bar");
