That's an interesting point, _if_ there is a way to find out when there is such a method available (including in old code). See, going through and removing all the ::fromLatin1()s and seeing if it compiles is _not_ a pleasant job (and don't forget the effect QT_NO_CAST_ASCII and _NO_ASCII_CAST have). IOW, file a JJ (see the Quality Team pages), send patches for the cases you find relevant, or create a tool to flag these things.
