QFlags does not cast into int anymore automatically

It seems that a change between 5.8 and 5.9 broke the support for casting QFlags (1) into int.

For example value from this:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlayoutitem.html#expandingDirections
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlayoutitem.html#alignment

In order to support those two function calls, I had to cast now into int manually (2). I can see that there has been some work done to the QFlag (3) and I suppose that has had this side effect that the API is broken.
