Usually that it's just to point out the version where it should be fix.
With 5.14.1 released, that remains 5.14, hopefully being fix in the next
released.

There are a couple of things one needs to implement in PySide,
to be able to get those methods available, that's why it's not
straight forward to fix it.

On the discussion you can see why that's not being merged,
which is mainly because it exposed the function but had no effect.

As you maybe read on the comments of the issue,
that's something from Qt Quick itself.


One of the first steps to get this done is to implement Q_ENUM,
and I'm currently working on that but I don't have a ETA :(
