    Description

      Currently, as per Qt policy, const char* are treated as being encoded in UTF-8. But most such strings are actually US-ASCII, and therefore valid Latin-1. QAnyStringView, which can contain both, should scan the string at construction time for any 8th-bit character, and having found none, adjust the UTF-8 tag to Latin1. This should be a compile-time check only, no runtime code, so it naturally only applies when some form of string literal is being passed.

      Acceptance criteria: The following tests (and others, with constexpr input) pass:

      static_assert(QAnyStringView("Hello, World").isLatin1());
      static_assert(QAnyStringView(u8"Hello, World").isLatin1());
      static_assert(QAnyStringView::fromArray("Hello, World").isLatin1());
      static_assert(QAnyStringView::fromArray(u8"Hello, World").isLatin1());
      

      (isLatin1()) is private API atm; we could make the test a friend of QAnyStringView or use

      any.visit([](auto view) { return std::is_same_v<decltype(view), QLatin1String>; })
      

      )
