So what's the intent with this one? Is it a stop gap measure until cpp_to_rust 
is more complete?
https://github.com/rust-qt/cpp_to_rust

Are you contributing to it as well? (I started patching it locally but still 
need to clean up my work for upstream contribution)

Of course take the above more as curiosity and wondering how that will fit 
regarding the larger Rust ecosystem. I don't see a problem with things like 
this to be part of KDE.
