thanks for that advice! I can now map attributes from QList<> to the
qtscript object, e.g. i can use a length attribute in qtscript. Good!

The next question is how get the list printed or get a an usable
[]-operator, e.g. in qtscript:

iconlist = test.list();
print(iconlist); // should print a textual representation
                 // (as with QStringList)

for(i = 0; i < iconlist.length; i++) { // as with QStringList
   print(iconlist[i]);
}

Do I have to make a wrapper / prototype class with Q_INVOKABLE QString
toString() and Q_INVOKABLE QSize operator[](int) ?
