[Qbs] Property accessibility from Probe in 1.11

[resurrection at centrum.cz]

Alright I see. Currently I am using it to access "global" functions defined as properties in top-level Project. Would moving them to external Module and importing that work in Probe? Or do I need to specify re-declare those I use in each Probe?

 Yes. By having to explicitly provide all input properties, you are forced declare an interface for your Probe, so that it is immediately obvious both to you and to qbs which properties are relevant (and thus need to be considered when figuring out whether the Probe has to be re-run).
 Note that you have tricked the system by providing an item rather than a property. This defeats the purpose, and we don't guarantee that it will keep working.
