I have nothing against a workable replacement solution in principle (it's work
to implement it, but that's life).
However, what you suggest doesn't hit the target:
1) Specifying the attributes of Q_PROPERTY is not the problem. This is
straightforward, and typically just does not work at all if you forget
something. Mostly.
2) Tying Q_PROPERTY to specific names for getter and signal is a bad idea
anyway. This would mean more totally unnecessary changes for existing projects
(except if it's just an option to use that notation, in which case I would not
care to use it)
3) The real boilerplate I talk about is the change comparison. It's easy to
forget (things work even if you don't do it), but at worst, the application
might crash as certain values trigger an endless recursion.
Kind regards
