Qt Declarative is in there as "A QML Engine Module", which presumably includes 
the basic set of primitives in the QtQuick import as well as the engine 
itself. That's the entire QtDeclarative module right there (except for labs 
modules, which we can all agree are not essentials).

I don't know why it wasn't just called "QtDeclarative" though. Perhaps because 
there are to be a growing number of declarative add-ons, and so the engine 
module is no longer Qt's whole declarative offering?
