Commit ba5db13c8d ("QStringView: add
internal qToStringViewIgnoringNull()") said:
As long as a null QString still returns non-null data(), QStringView's
QString constructor needs to call isNull(). That's a branch we often
can do without, so add an internal function that bypasses this
correctness check.
It's internal, since we might have a Q6String that returns nullptr
data() when null, which will remove the need for this function.
For Qt 6, we made QString and QByteArray be able to return nullptr from
data() when null... but that's not enabled by default yet. However, the
begin() functions do return nullptr, so we can avoid the extra branch
the commit was talking about.
