Oh, the following is nearly the most optimal:

	test[u"key"] = u"value";

Depending on what tricks we do to QString, we can make it most optimal. In Qt 
5, we did it with QStringLiteral. For Qt 6, if we retain QStringLiteral, it 
would be a special QString that has immutable data.

We can experiment to see what C++17 std::is_constant_evaluated() allows us to 
guess.
