I always find it hilarious how people start debates about UTF-8 vs UTF-16 in 
string APIs. Let us not forget that in an ideal world, the QString API wouldn't 
expose the underlying encoding *at all*, and it would be an implementation 
detail unknown to users.

See Swift's String class for example: 
https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/?id=30

If you're thinking in terms of code units instead of in terms of grapheme 
clusters, you don't truly understand Unicode. And also end up with historical 
radioactive waste like UTF-16.

<snip>, Lets face it, the world is much bigger than Qt, and I think there is 
much to gain if we integrate better with alien libraries.

My understanding is that most alien libraries are not binary-based (i.e., they 
are ternary or use other forms of multi-valued-logic (MVL)).
