    Default what are the historical reasons mentioned in the QRect class reference

    In the QRect class reference it is mentioned that for historical reasons bottom() and right() return incorrect values.

    1. Does anyone know what these reasons are?
    2. Is there a reason that they must be maintained like this? I can file a bug to have this idiosyncracy fixed.

    An older version used to behave that way.

    Backward compatibility.
