Or do you have other differences in mind?
Nothing qualitatively different. Just std::basic_string_view<char16_t> with a subset of QString API, yes. The problem is that I feel we can't wait for string_view because we already drown in QString equivalents. Plus, we'd get the usual replies if anyone suggested to use std::string_view as such a fundamental Qt type. Naturally, QStringView would trivially convert to and from std::u16string_view with no runtime overhead (unless compiler writers ruin the concept of string_view by implementing it as (T*, size_t) in one compiler and (T*, T*) in another....)
