While the function is inline, the class is exported wholesale, so the function forms part of the ABI on Windows (but not Unix), so we must overload, can't replace. To avoid ambiguities where users pass different integer types as the lengths of the LHS and RHS strings, QT_REMOVED_SINCE the old overload. Since the removed function has an inline definition, it suffices to just include the header into the corresponding QT_REMOVED_SINCE section of the removed_api.cpp file, to elegantly solve the BiC problem only for those platforms (MSVC) where it matters.
