[Development] RFC: Scriptable Widgets

[Marcus Tillmanns]

I was actually hoping to write a simple “app” that inspects the meta objects, and generates code based on that, instead of going the shiboken way and trying to parse the C++ Code myself (though I am looking into shiboken as well). I’m also looking into misusing clang(d) to parse it :) In the best case I would use C++ reflection of course :)
