[Development] QAction-like API for QML

[Stephen Kelly]

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your initiative in pointing out what is still missing in 
QtQml/QtQuick.

I think it's a mistake to assume that a new action API is not going to be 
useful on the desktop. I think it does need to be useful there. Additionally, 
a new action API should be useful in a hybrid QML2/Widget application, so 
please make that part of the design of the new API.

So, I think that the properties you don't include (toolTip, whatsThis, 
statusTip) *are* necessary. You also should consider accessibility in this new 
design.

Thanks,
