Hi,
Thanks for the information.

That's a given, no argument.

Yeah, but my beef with it is that I must derive from QObject for that,
don't I? I can live with not having notifications for the fields, is what I
mean.

I just have a stupid struct with 2-3 fields, that I'd love to initialize
within the document tree. I did some hacking around and did provide this
out of the parser (just ignoring the warning about registering value types
with capital letter), but I was wondering if I missed some subtle problem.
The whole idea of just having the god factory I find distastefulness and
somewhat harder to read/reason about. Currently this is what it looks like
for me:

property var person: Character {

    name: qsTr("Person name")

    age: Age {

        years: 1

        months: 0

    }

    Simulation.onAdvanced: {

        age.months++

    }

}
I'd've 'accepted' initializing from a plain JSON object as well, but
somehow I don't believe the QML parsing really works with these, plus
the quoting of the field names is a pain.
