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.
