but if I use &pen if doesn't compile too.

Do you have an idea ?

Fun :-) so because it wants a reference the lifetime is the fun part here. Either we would need to link up the lifetimes somehow (not sure if possible?) or maybe we'd need to go the Into route instead as that could be a value not a reference, eg accept Into<QPen> we also need to see what is the common way of doing this in the Rust ecosystem, so looking for examples in std would be good.

Also note that From<T> is usually preferred over Into<T>

@LeonMatthesKDAB do you have an idea how to fix it ? :)
