[Development] Proposal: Remove QML from Qt's code base (OR: Should it be a requirement that Qt Modules are interoperable?)

[Xizhi Zhu]

In short, the introduction of QML introduces a new application model. Here,
the C++ code is the model / logic, and the QML code is the UI / user
interaction part.

I don't really understand why the model / logics needs to access e.g. what
animation or graphics effect the UI provides.

Besides, you can also choose QWidget to implement the same functionality
without writing a single line of QML code.
