The problem with ICU regexp is ICU.

We were discussing also whether we should use ICU or not. What we don't want 
is to duplicate the Unicode tables, which are quite big. So the decision has 
to be all-in for ICU or all-out.

We're afraid that an all-in for ICU would mean performance regressions in 
Unicode-critical code like QString and the text formatting, due to the 
overhead of function calls. This is an unconfirmed suspicion, no benchmarking 
was done.
