Is there anything you can add to the testsuite to validate that this
works as expected?  I'm not quite sure if check-qdict.c is the best fit,
but it's the sort of test I have in mind.

It looks like this is shorthand for getting at the string value of a
QTYPE_QSTRING object.  I'm not sure how you were planning on using it,
or if it saves much code.  This is where you could use your commit
message to explain why this shorthand will be useful.
