The function 'model' for QModelIndex in a QListWidget returns a pointer to a private class.

If I assign a delegate to QListWidget, the overridden paint call has a QModelIndex passed as a parameter.  Calling model on the function returns a pointer to a private class QLlistModel,  Since this model is private, the item cannot be retrieved from the index.

Please make the QListModel a public class so the items for the QListWidget can be retrieved from QModelIndex.
