[Development] Making Q_OBJECT_COMPAT_PROPERTY public

[Arno Rehn]

Hey everyone,

in our codebase, we have a lot of property setters with side-effects. 
We'd still like to introduce bindable properties - they're awesome!

However, QObjectBindableProperty/QProperty require trivial setters, so 
that doesn't work for us. Qt uses Q_OBJECT_COMPAT_PROPERTY internally 
for setters-with-side-effects, but that is private API as of now.

I've found notes from Qt CS 2021 indicating that this could be made 
public in the future [0]. Has there been any development in this 
direction? If not, is there anything that's blocking this?

Regards,
Arno
