Hi,

Before this gets any more traction: Aye! for QUtf8String, nay for the 
implementation.

Whenever we have publicly derived one value type from another, we've 
created a mess. QPolygon : QVector (qvector_msvc.h), QStringList : QList 
(QListSpecialMethods), QItemSelection : QList 
(qHash(QItemselectionRange)), QMutex : QBasicMutex (invalid casts in 
QMutexLocker), ...

So no, no more inheriting of value classes from each other. QUtf8String, 
if it comes, will have to be a separate type, not a subclass of 
QByteArray.

Thanks,
Marc
