[QBS] Status of QBS w.r.t. deprecation of QtScript

[Ruslan Nigmatullin]

Hi all,

Looks like right now it's impossible to migrate to QtQml without using private API, i.e. QtQml doesn't provide any alternatives for QScriptContext, QScriptEngine::newFunction and QScriptClass.

So the question - should we force adding this public APIs to QtQml or start using private API to make port? May be I'm missing something and there are other alternatives?
