Well, that's the point I was trying to make. Currently something like 
this doesn't work and therefore I don't think we'd miss support for 
multiple non-QString arguments in the new i18n(). Chusslove proposed an 
i18n() variant which would accept
  i18n( "%1 %2 %3", "foo", "bar", 5 )
and I think that's not necessary. For me having to write
  i18n( "%1 %2 %3", "foo", "bar", QString::number( 5 ) )
instead would be perfectly alright.

Ingo
