Agreed. But we can provide convenience even if we treat tool bars as a visual item. For instance, you would have to do this to follow the model approach of actions:

RowLayout { Repeater { model: myActions ; ToolButton { action: modelData} } }}

Granted, a bit too verbose. However with a little bit of convenience, we can for instance reduce this to just:  ActionRowLayout { model: myActions }
