To elaborate on this: does operator==(QStringView, char*) already exist 
(maybe under QT_NO_CAST...)? If yes, isn't that char* already assumed to 
be UTF-8? Do you want a QUtf8StringView to cleanly compile also under 
QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII (and obviously use UTF-8, not Latin1), to reap 
compile-time strlen, etc?

Thanks,
