+    \ingroup shared
+    \ingroup string-processing
+
+
+    Unlike \c QLatin1String, a \c QLatin1Literal can retrieve its size
+    without iterating over the literal.
+
+    The main use of \c QLatin1Literal is in conjunction with \c QStringBuilder
+    to reduce the number of reallocations needed to build up a string from
+    smaller chunks.

+    \class QStringBuilder
+    \internal
+    \reentrant
+    \since 4.6
+
+    \brief The QStringBuilder class is a template class that provides a facility to build up QStrings from smaller chunks.
+
+    \ingroup tools
+    \ingroup shared
+    \ingroup string-processing
+
+
+    To build a QString by multiple concatenations, QString::operator+()
+    is typically used. This causes \e{n - 1} reallocations when building
+    a string from \e{n} chunks.
+
+    QStringBuilder uses expression templates to collect the individual
+    chunks, compute the total size, allocate the required amount of
+    memory for the final QString object, and copy the chunks into the
+    allocated memory.
+
+    The QStringBuilder class is not to be used explicitly in user
+    code.  Instances of the class are created as return values of the
+    operator%() function, acting on objects of type QString,
+    QLatin1String, QLatin1Literal, QStringRef, QChar, QCharRef,
+    QLatin1Char, and \c char.
+
+    Concatenating strings with operator%() generally yields better
+    performance then using \c QString::operator+() on the same chunks
+    if there are three or more of them, and performs equally well in other
+    cases.

+
+    Returns a \c QStringBuilder object that is converted to a QString object

+
+    This function is usable with arguments of type \c QString,

+    \c QChar, \c QCharRef, \c QLatin1Char, and \c char.
