We’re one month away from the feature freeze, and in July half of the

dropping 2013 now, as dev currently works with it.
The difference is whether we have to put up with MSVC 2013 and find
workarounds
for half a month or for 7 months.
I also want to get rid of it rather sooner than later. But we have to
deal with the compiler for quite a while in 5.9 anyway, and I’d expect
that a lot of the bug fixes will go there. So the question is how much
we’re gaining dropping it now a month before the 5.10 freeze.
QStringView, at least, is full of MSVC 2013 work-arounds. The most
important is the requirement to use QStringViewLiteral instead of just
u"foo".
