[Development] Using '#pragma once' instead of include guards?

While I can sympathize with the idea of #pragma once, this is not a fair 
comparison. The current set of classes, while complicated, also does a 
lot more than what we previously had. If you want the only the old 
functionality you can just restrict yourself to QString, QByteArray, and 
QStringView. That's not actually more complicated.

But if you want classes that deal with UTF-8 and with views on different 
kinds of string data, you obviously need some more types.
