Right, it will work only if the types of the literals with the same name differ, so we can add e.g. _s for seconds (or something else) in future.

I'll wait a bit more, to make sure that there are no more concerns/objections against deprecating _qX and adding their counterparts to Qt::StringLiterals, and merge https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/401308/ and https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/401604/.
