While I'm looking forward to this, is there an way for me to create a 
MapItemGroup equivalent now in QML? Currently i have a MyMapItemGroup that has 
one property that provides a reference to the map it lies within and 
coordinate.

However, every CustomMapItem that derives from MyMapItemGroup is responsible 
to bind its coordinate to MyMapItemGroup.coordinate and call 
MyMapItemGroup.map.addMapItem() for it to show on the map.

Is there any way that I can implement MyMapItemGroup such that any direct 
child that is a MapItem is added to the map?
