How?

That said if something like that exists it means that given a chain of
QProperties it need just one "immediate" observers to break all the
"benefits" of lazy evaluation(given that it causes all the chain to
recompute).
This obviously is not worse than what we have now but basically makes
me think if we really need this or not.
