Yes, I know QCollator is not public API. But if QCollator solves the problem 
of natural sorting, then all we need to do is make QCollator public.

Unlike other Unicode and locale APIs in Qt, QCollator definitely requires ICU. 
For the other APIs, we may be able to do with the API provided by the system, 
even if in restricted mode (only supporting the C and the system locales).

If we have QCollator in the QtCore public API, then we *must* ship ICU in all 
platforms. And that's the question: do we want to?
