Extending QML - Plugins Example
===============================

This example refers to the Python version of using a QML plugin in Python. The idea of plugins in
Python is non-existent because Python modules are dynamically loaded anyway. We use this idea and
our QML type registration decorators - QmlELement/QmlNamedElement - to register the QML modules as
they are imported. The pyside6-qml tool does this for you by simply pointing to the .qml file.
