QString: Allocating more than needed?

[Stefan Heimers]

There was a small discussion on the qt-interest Mailing list (two years 
ago) about how QString allocates more memory than needed, in order to 
avoid reallocation when growing the string.

- Does Qt still do this in the same manner?

- Is there a way to create qstrings with a fixed length, which won't 
waste memory in case you know they will never grow?

- It would be nice to have an option to set the maximum expected length 
of a qstring, so it won't allocate in excess, or too little if you know 
a string will grow considerably.
