Perhaps just the name Layout.sizePolicy is precise enough. Is there a case
where it is relevant to set both in the same layout as long as you still have
to specify Row or Column?

I would suggest that we keep it. Partially I want to keep it more or less
compatible with row/column and I almost always want some default spacing
between widgets. In fact I think the default spacing should be set to 4 pixels
and not 0 by default. (unless we want per-component style based values) Apart
from that, I would suggest that stretching is off on items by default. (Keep
stretchFactor at 1.0 as default but ignore it unless Layout.sizePolicy ===
Layout.Expanding.)
I am currently a little bit puzzled by the behavior when no items have a
stretch factor. I wonder if we should insert an invisible expanding item
implicitly at the end?
The other thing that was odd was having to set Layout.implicitWidth on an Item
to create a spacer. For some reason I expected just setting width to work. But
I can see how that makes sense though… Perhaps a convenience Spacer{} would be
worth it.

I am happy that you are managing to find some time to work on this though. It
is already very useful.
