Proposal KLatin1String

Yes, but in a very early stage. I must confess that I did not look at the code 
for KLatinString(Literal) before. Now I did - and I am not sure that the 
current implementation will speed-up things or reduce the code size 
significantly. The problem with such classes it that they must provide a 
significant improvement or must provide some nice functionality. Otherwise 
there is no reason to use them and they would only add complexity to KDE.

A technical concern about KLatinString(Literal) is that data() returns a 
pointer to memory that is not managed by the KLatinSring(Literal) class. The 
assumption is that the data passed to the xtor is static and remains valid 
for the lifetime of a KLatinString(Literal). This is a dangerous thing and 
may lead to instable code when programmers forget to respect these 
restrictions.
