[Development] QTCS2019 Notes from QtQml session

While I agree with this overall, there's still one caveat which I 
haven't seen discussed yet:

Imagine I have the following code:

Item {
     id: foo
     property color prettyColor: "#f0f"

     Rectangle {
         color: foo.prettyColor
     }
}

Right now "foo" refers to the Item. What if in a future update, 
Rectangle gains a new property "foo". Unless you want to force everyone 
to be explicit by using "this" (e.g. width: this.height) everywhere, 
which would be annoying, I don't see how this can be made future-proof 
without some form of versioning or some other magic solution?

Cheers
