[Interest] Any plans to bring back/provide a replacement for GestureArea

[Peter Klosowski]

While each of those components provides some of the functionality that I
need, they are not as well suited as GestureArea. This is due to the fact
that I want to support multiple gestures on a custom QQuickItem: tap,
tapAndHold, pan (one finger drag), pinch (two finger drag). This is rather
cumbersome with the current components, whereas it sould be trivial with
GestureArea. In addition to that, while I don't currently make use if it,
GestureArea provides the ability to use custom gesture recognizers, which I
believe none of the 3 current components support.

I think MouseArea, PinchArea and MultiPointTouchArea are very useful, but
they are not really a good replacement for GestureArea.

Best regards,
kloffy
