[Qt-qml] Extending with C++, basic QML list type question

[Harri Pasanen]

I've been reading the docs on how to do my own QML types with C++, 
including lists.

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/declarative-cppextensions-referenceexamples-properties.html

Has a BirthdayParty sample class with a list of guests.

I made a variation of that, but for some reason when in qml I can't 
index the list:

  BirthdayParty  {
      host:Person  {
          name:"Bob Jones"
          shoeSize:12
      }
      guests: [
          Person  {name:"Leo Hodges"  },
          Person  {name:"Jack Smith"  },
          Person  {name:"Anne Brown"  }
      ]
  }

   Component.onCompleted:  {
     console.log("completed")
     console.log(guests[1].name)
   }


Chokes when it tries to index the guests property, spitting out a message:
'guests[1]' [undefined] is not an object.

Should this work, or what am I missing?

There is also some other underlying magic going on which is not explicit.

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.7/declarative-tutorials-extending-chapter5-listproperties-piechart-h.html#id-746a8ac4-61d2-42f8-82d6-2c72cd6c26a0

comes up with some static method called append_slice to populate the 
list, but why does the birthday party example not feature it?

Btw, are the example and tutorial projects show in the documentation 
downloadable somewhere in compilable format?  Cutting and pasting from 
the doc is not very tempting...
Searching for the examples, at least the PieChart and BirthdayParty 
don't seem to be part of QtSDK examples.
