patch method in QNetworkAccessManager

I'm currently working on a Qt application that calls a web API which, for one task, requires uploading a file via a PATCH request.

The workaround described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35683785/qnetworkaccessmanager-how-to-send-multipart-patch-request

should work, but I feel the cleanest way would be to add these methods to QNetworkAccessManager:

QNetworkReply *QNetworkAccessManager::patch(const QNetworkRequest &request, QIODevice *data)

QNetworkReply *QNetworkAccessManager::patch(const QNetworkRequest &request, const QByteArray &data)

QNetworkReply *QNetworkAccessManager::patch(const QNetworkRequest &request, QHttpMultiPart *multiPart)

I don't know how widely this HTTP request is used globally, so I don't know how much of an issue this is.
