We cannot at the same time tell people Plasma components and app components should be \
visually different; and at the same time tell developers they should be using some \
stuff from plasma in their apps. They're not compatiable plans.

Also this is a /lot lot/ better than the implementation in PlatformComponents. It's \
similar to the approach QtQuick.Dialogs; you return a QObject with properties. For \
now that wraps a QWidget dialog in the desktop mode for now; but it could just as \
easily return something a QWindow QML item with QtQuick Controls inside in future \
without breaking API. (much)

It might be re-inventing a wheel, but it's adding a rubber tyre on the outside whilst \
it does it.
