How can you know when Qt decides to reuse some memory?

...and even QPersistentModelIndex <qpersistentmodelindex.html> will 
become invalid if the index
is no longer reachable. Haven't tested, but a guess would be
that QPersistentModelIndex <qpersistentmodelindex.html> may become 
invalid, but keeps the pointer
or its internal is guaranteed to still be unique. But as I said, this is 
just a
guess (nothing regarding this mentioned in the docs).
