No need to figure out magic multiplication constants for figuring out
the string size. Basically, if you convert a QString to a QByteArray
holding its UTF-8 representation, you can tell the size of the data from
QByteArray's size(). Also having a stable and well-documented
intermediate format (which a byte array of UTF-8 data is) always helps.
