I'd like to say I support this, at least as far as 7.0 with just the alias.

When or if ever we drop the QLatin1String name and even if we ever add a new 
class is a subject for much later and doesn't have to be taken now. But unless 
we do the change Sona is proposing now, we that option wouldn't be on the 
table.

BTW, shouldn't this one also have a "v" somewhere, like _qsv?
