By the time I wrote that mail, I wasn't aware of the fact that Qt
declares that it uses UTF-16 for QStrings internally. If there was no
such guarantee, you'd have problems when touching QString's char*
returned by data().

However, I'm not sure if the size of the str.utf16() is really
str.size() * sizeof(ushort) -- what happens if there are surrogate pairs
in the string? Will they be reflected in QString's size()?

Cheers,
