    \inqmlmodule QbsModules
    \brief Provides Qt Core support.

    All other Qt modules have a dependency on the Qt.core module, and therefore
    you do not need to list it in your dependencies if you depend on at least
    one other \l{Qt Modules}{Qt module}.

    Some of the Qt.core properties only need to be defined if the respective
    installation of Qt was built in some unusual way, for instance by setting
    non-default \c configure flags.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Qt.core::combineMocOutput

    Whether the C++ sources created by \c moc are combined into a single C++
    file per product. For projects where many header files are to be handled by
    \c moc, this can speed up compilation considerably. However, side effects
    may occur as a result of merging translation units.

    \defaultvalue \l{cpp::combineCxxSources}{cpp.combineCxxSources}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Qt.core::enableBigResources

    Whether the Qt resource compiler is run in a two-pass fashion that supports
    the creation of big resources.

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Qt.core::config

    Corresponds to the default value of qmake's \c CONFIG variable.

    The path in which the Qt documentation is located.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Qt.core::enableKeywords

    Set this property to \c false if you do not want Qt to define the symbols
    \c {signals}, \c {slots}, and \c {emit}. This can be necessary if your
    project interacts with code that also defines such symbols.

    \defaultvalue \c true

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Qt.core::frameworkBuild

    Whether Qt was built as a framework. This is only relevant for Darwin
    systems.

    The base path of the Qt headers.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Qt.core::libInfix

    The library infix can be set at Qt build time to change the name of Qt's
    libraries.

    For example, if the infix is \c "Test", on Unix systems, the Qt Core library
    will be in a file called \c{libQt5CoreTest.so} instead of the default
    \c{libQt5Core.so}.

    \defaultvalue \c []

    If this property is \c true, \c lrelease will merge all \c .ts files into

    file.

    A list of additional flags to \c moc.

    You will rarely need to set this property.

    \defaultvalue \c []

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Qt.core::mocName

    The base name of the \c moc tool.

    Set this if your system uses a name such as \c "moc-qt4".

    \defaultvalue \c{"moc"}

    \qmlproperty string Qt.core::qmBaseName

    The base name of the \c .qm file to be built from the \c .ts files in the
