Thank you for your answer.

While it is an important issue, I think that in the context of the 
current discussion (separate declarative from non-declarative, and 
stimulate the former) this is not a really relevant issue then. Is that 
a fair assessment? Yes, there are more performant ways to reach the 
goal, but if the goal is get rid of imperative bits in QML, then I'd 
think it could be a valid approach, if not always the best or fastest 
one. It is an approach that is usuable especially in contexts where 
performance is not a major concern though.
