All looks reasonable, not sure why we had these inconsistent, but it makes sense to me to have a standard conversion between types with either a reference or otherwise :)

There's an odd pattern across many files that looks like this:
One of the implementations uses a borrow, and the other one does not, even though both are calling functions that take references. Theoretically, in order to be consistent with Qt, both implementations should use borrowing (
From<&QLine>andFrom<&QLineF>). But I don't think it would make sense to remove the by-value implementations, because A) that would be a breaking change, and B) it is useful to be able to do e.g.let pointf = QPoint::new(1, 2).into()rather thanlet pointf = (&QPoint::new(1, 2)).into(). So instead, I just added complementary implementations so nowFrom<QLine> for QLineFandFrom<&QLineF> for QLineare implemented as well.That said, I'm not sure why
QPenimplementsFrom<&PenStyle>. I added an implementation forFrom<PenStyle>, so that part is handled, but at some point it might be worth removing theFrom<&PenStyle>implementation, becausePenStyleis just ani32enum. There's no point in passing it by reference rather than value.
