I totally agree with this. Qt is a black box. When is works, all is 
fine. When it does not, we have to guess when it stopped to work and 
why. Text painting in work area is a pain, for example.

This is what I thought with the text-painting/string-breaking stuff, and 
now we have to code by hand the word breaking rules in CJK (#11593). And 
we have to work around weird bugs. We have also some very weird bugs 
related to Qt unicode handling.

The advantage of C++ std library here is that everything is dictated by 
a standard and every bug is something that has to be fixed. So we can 
basically rely on the behavior of the methods.
