I've done this experiment for QMap / QHash / QSet, where keeping COW at 
the cost of an extra indirection (dptr -> [refcount + std:: class] -> 
actual data) is more acceptable since these classes jump all over the 
memory anyhow. Basically "it worked", still requiring a few changes 
though, e.g. std::unordered_map iterators are forward, QHash ones are 
bidirectional. If the SIC is acceptable, something to consider for Qt 6.
