    Description

      Currently, if you pull a foreign type into a module using QML_FOREIGN, its type description is copied into the current module's qmltypes. If you do that twice, you get two copies of the same type. It is often necessary to have two different QML types for the same C++ type, for example to expose a value type and its enums. However, expressing this as two copies of the same type, only differing in access semantics and exports is clumsy and creates problems for downstream tooling that expects internal names to be unique. Therefore, QML_FOREIGN and friends should work like QML_ATTACHED or QML_EXTENDED and link, rather than copy, the types.
