[Qt-qml] Storing javascript references in QML properties, in Qt5

[aaron.kennedy at nokia.com]

Hi,

We haven't made the fix, so there are currently no details to point to.  But, basically, we will introduce a new "property var" syntax that behaves as you want, and deprecate "property variant".  We can't simply change the behavior of "property variant" as existing applications may (probably unintentionally) depend on it's current semantics.

Cheers,

Aaron
