By moving the base fields to a QObjectBase_, QObject can be a type which also has a 'base' field. This allows writing a generic QOBJECT() macro that will work with any QObject type, including QObject itself. The container_of() macro ensures that the object to cast has a QObjectBase_ base field, giving some type safety guarantees. QObject must have no members but QObjectBase_ base, or else QOBJECT() breaks. QObjectBase_ is not a typedef and uses a trailing underscore to make it obvious it is not for normal use and to avoid potential abuse.
