Renaming QRegExp to QSimpleRegExp seems nice and reasonable, although
it might confuse developers as to which engine they are actually
using. A mild +1 from me :)

This way, QtCore's reg exp:
a) would be as cross-platform as today,
b) would not break QString.

While at the same time, more powerful alternative would sit in another module.
