[Interest] Non rectangular clipPath for QQuickItems

[Richard Öhlinger]

Isn't there anyone who knows how to clip an Item and all its children in 
a non-rectangular fashion?

Maybe It could be done with a ShaderEffect? I had a look at OpacityMask 
but I could not figure out how to use it in my context.
