[Interest] Overriding list properties in QML at initialisation

Hello,

That's the expected behavior of the default property, e.g. children in 
QQuickItem. Arguably, it should not extend to explicitly setting any 
other list properties.

Yes, that would be nice. Keep in mind that the default property should 
still behave the old way, but only if you actually use it as default 
property. The details can be discussed in the report, though.

best regards,
Ulf
