Re: replacing OUString::valueOf(static_cast<sal_Int32>) ??

I've had a look at this git grep, and most of them could be written an
easier way thanks to the Lubos' OUString magic; like:

- aPropName += OUString::valueOf( (sal_Unicode) '/' );
+ aPropName += "/";

The only more tricky one is

- aRepresentation += OUString::valueOf( (sal_Unicode)(char)( ( nPageNumber - 1 ) % 26 + 'A' ) );
+ aRepresentation += OUString( (sal_Unicode)(char)( ( nPageNumber - 1 ) % 26 + 'A' ) );

Or did you mean something different?

I've counted exactly 5 - seeing the trouble we have un-publishing
something that we have published, I'd really prefer not to introduce a
method in our core API that would satisfy only 5 callers ;-)

Either way, thanks for looking into this!

All the best,
