Yes, except for "out of Qt". We already have - within Qt - lots of equivalent ways to provide a QChar-based string - and QString is only one (QStringRef and QVarLengthArray<QChar> are others, as is QChar[]). As I said before, this is very similar to Q(Persistent)ModelIndex - QMI is the interface type, and it's transparent to the compiler and thus efficient to work with. QPMI is the storage type, intransparent to the compiler and very slow to work with.
