Currently QMetaType API contains almost only static methods. This works
nice until someone needs more information or needs to do more operations
on a type. In this case every function call has to do type dispatch.
This API allows to avoid redundant type dispatching, by caching a
type information in a QMetaType instance. It gives significant
performance boost especially for custom types (up to 9x).
