[Qt-qml] [coding niceness][low priority] Usage of "createComponent()"

[Ivan De Marino]

Hello.
This is a message purely about code "niceness". Answer only when u are done
with your daily job, and the thing in your non-mouse-holding hand is a Pina
Colada. :)

Scenario: I have 2 .qml
- Main.qml
- common/SupaDupaComponent.qml

In main.qml I do something like:

import "common"
...
var component = createComponent("common/SupaDupaComponent.qml");
var obj = component.createObject();
obj.parent = aProperParent;
...


This works and the world has a blue sky.
But I don't like it 100%: given that I have imported the component already
(at the first line), why do I have to search the component "by file"?
For me, something like:

var obj = SupaDupaComponent.createObject();
...


Should be the proper thing to have.
I know, is one line, but WHY it doesn't work if I do like that?
Isn't an included component equivalent to a "Component"?
What am I missing from the way QML handles Component's creation?

Saluti and have a nice drink ;)
