    Description

      Currently the QCommandLineParser internal --help and --version commands always print to the stdout which is useless in GUI apps (without a console).

      Better would be to add a "echo" or similar virtual method to CoreApplication that GuiApplication can override to display a messagebox instead of printing to the console.
