_IF_ a consensus s reached upon going with PCRE, would it be possible to make a new class (... set of classes) using the UTF-8 engine, and upgrade it later to the UTF-16 version -- thus, getting all the benefits? In particular, I'm thinking that it will need some time to get the UTF-16 port in a good shape, and even more time to get it shipped in major distributions. Is it ok for Qt(Core) to depend on bleeding-edge software?
