Ooooooh... I never expected that the code would actually change the curP 
argument, since it is const.

And here my C++ knowledge is a bit faint, probably...

I expected 'const QChar * &' to be a non-const pointer to a reference to a 
const QChar. In that case the reference would be pointless as it would be 
referencing const data. But I probably was wrong there...

Anyway, I can now assume my workaround is sane and continue with my other 
problems. I hope to have a patch ready for review before I return home today.
