Wow, that's the part that I couldn't believe until my fourth time or so 
through the docs. I thought there had to be some less convenient, but 
still possible, way to get the values back out, but I was wrong.

A third option would be to create our own subclass that remembers the 
placeholders and emulates executedQuery. It's possible, but it's a lot 
of work to cope with a flaw that Trolltech has already fixed. If you 
wanted 3.1 compatibility badly enough, I'd suggest that route.

Since it's already difficult to make sure everything works on 3.1 
(recent months have shown that), and nobody has come forward with a 
good defense for it, I'll have to throw my hat into the "leave 3.1 
behind" ring as well.
