You wouldn't. You can return QStringViews just as well as you can take an 
iterator into a collection.

Whether a give QStringRef return is safe to be replaced with QStringView is 
another matter, one that needs to be evaluated case-by-case. A blanket 
statement is not possible, since QStringRef has stronger stability guarantees 
(probably undocumented, though).

Thanks,
Marc
