This is unfortunately true. Some features are just missing from 
QJSEngine and friends. I've created QTBUG-45246 for the missing 
QJSEngine::newFunction and QTBUG-45248 for the missing QScriptClass 
functionality.
IMO, the first one is a must-have for QJSEngine. That feature is 
definitely useful for a lot of people. The latter might be an edge case 
- I could live with depending on private API for that.

There are holes in the API. We could fill those with our own 
implementations in qbs. Ideally, they can then be ported to QtQml and be 
part of the public API eventually.
