Having file, network, dns etc access in the bridged language doesn't 
directly help you when you're writing QML. In QML you either need to use 
Qt's QML modules or extra functionality manually exposed from the 
bridged language. The latter is more hassle (and it will result in N+1 
different ways of accessing files from QML).
