[Interest] Overloading methods used by properties

[Schimkowitsch Robert]

I have a class with a property

Q_PROPERTY(QPixmap Pixmap READ pixmap WRITE setPixmap)

For convenience, I would like to allow the user of that class to specify
either a QPixmap, or a QString with a filename or resource name.

So, I declare two setters:

    void setPixmap(QPixmap arg);
    void setPixmap(QString arg);

Can this silently hurt me? The property should know which type to use,
but since it's based on QVariant, will the compiler know which setter to
call?

Going further, was overloading considered in the design of the property
system, or must each property have a single type?

Kind regards

Robert Schimkowitsch
