Unfortunately, it doesn't allow the case sensitivity to be specified 
(unlike QCollator::compare() and QString::compare()), which makes it 
less useful than it could be.

Thanks, that solves my next problem of how to compare in locales other 
than the default.

I notice that QString::localeAwareCompare() internally uses a QCollator, 
which it defines as;

Q_GLOBAL_STATIC(QThreadStorage<QCollator>, defaultCollator)

Why does it need an instance per thread?
