I just noticed that QMap<QString, QVariant> is supported, which for our
purposes should be equivalent.

For now, after a bit of experimentation I felt that using a hash provided most flexibility for least effort, as source and PDF windows need different fields, and keys can be added or omitted without breaking compatibility or requiring us to maintain a "version" field, etc. But I'd be willing to consider a different approach; this is definitely experimental at the moment.

Yeah, compatibility would indeed be an issue with structs. But in what
way do TeX and PDF windows need different fields? So far, I could only
think of windows filename, window geometry, and possibly position (could
be a line/page number and/or scrollbar values). Well, I think I'll have
to have a look at the changes some time.
