For some toolkits, a container widget will add a property to their
children, for instance a layout widget might add a "alignment" property to
their children.
Currently there is nothing in the metadata to handle this.
I propose the me add a new element <childProperties> as a child of the
widget element. <childProperties> will contain <property> elements. These
<property> elements
will apply to any widget which is a child (direct child).
For instance (very abbreviated):
<widget name="verticalLayout">):
<properties>
.
.
</properties>
<childProperties>
<property name="alignment">
.
.
</property>
</childProperties>
</widget>
