Since Qt 3 days[1], QString::fromAscii has stood for from C strings with
Ascii standing for that which the developer writes, instead of its proper
definition of US-ASCII, a.k.a. ANSI X3.4-1986. By default, it was Latin 1 in Qt
3 and Qt 4.
In addition, QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings could be used

My recommendation is a variant of options 3: we document that it accepts only
US-ASCII and that it has undefined behaviour when the input isn't US-ASCII
compliant. That way, we can make it be equal to toLatin1() and avoid having to
write

There's no such encoding.
The use of the term is sometimes criticized, because it

In any case, deprecating is orthogonal to the behaviour. What should the

There's no use in 'fixing' fromAscii(), toAscii() if we're deprecating it
anyway (which I support). So just let it be a synonym to fromLatin1(),
toLatin1(), which
