CoW naive? Really not, this method is at the heart of many strategic
technologies.
eg.:
* virtual memory used by most of operating system
* some databases
* principle behind any immutable data structure
The keyword being 'immutable'. QString is not immutable.
I'm all for going more immer-style, but you can't possibly claim that's
what's happening in Qt 6. Immer is modern, the crude CoW implementations
used in Qt (incl. 6) _are_ naïve.
