[Interest] Accessing staticMetaObject of Q_GADGET class by name or TypeID

[Shady Zayat]

I already do this by maintaining a big ugly if/else block to test for all
of my custom enumeration types. I actually just realized metaObjectForType
is available and I tried using it. The code looks much cleaner, but then it
doesn't work for the few enums that are not defined in QObjects.
