I should state my use case as well: I'm doing a small page based embedded
app (less than 20 pages), based on a StackView, where I'm thankfully not
hardware constrained (it's a fast PC). So I have no reason to use Loader to
load pages dynamically but was thinking of keeping them all statically in a
map, so that I can switch page based on the name of the page (e.g
"WelcomeScreen") by calling some function or perhaps emitting a signal with
the name as argument.
