[Development] QProperty and library coding guide

It sounds like there are two overlapping elements to these changes.  First is the ability to compress getters/setters/onChanged in to a single name, and second, an extension to allow "lazy" binding?  Is this correct?  I understand the struct would allow both, I'm asking about the intent, not the implementation.  I.e., how this is expected to be used.

>From the above, it looks like "lazy" binding (is there a better name:?) could be enabled without the P_PRIVATE_QPROPERTY macro using a separate name, right?  Is there a canonical use-case/example available yet?

I know most of you are focused on the implementation and compatibility, but I'm still unclear on what the impact to the user is, especially for the "lazy" binding...

Thanks,
Brett
