Here's another one: formatting of floating point types.

That's a hard pass on the Standard Library implementations. We already carry 
code for this in the form of libdoubleconversion, so unless we can ditch that 
in favour of the Standard Library content, we shouldn't use both, which would 
increase QtCore code size and possibly introduce differences in behaviour. 

And we really can't use the the Standard Library ones until sometime in the 
2030s, can we?
