Let Flickable inherit from a MouseArea

Hi,

My case is as follows. I have a ListView (and GridView, but lets keep it on the ListView for now) where i disable flicking by setting boundsBehavior: Flickable.StopAtBounds. Thus far that works just fine.

Now i want to get notified when i click on my ListView area with my mouse. Just anywhere without clicking on one of the items i have inserted. Right now there is no option to get such an event other then adding a MouseArea over the entire ListView.

To me that seems a bit redundant. ListView inherits from Flickable by design and Flickable inherits from Item. I think that should change. A Flickable should inherit from a MouseArea thus exposing all MouseArea signals to everything that inherits from Flickable.

Can this be added in Qt 5.1?
Or perhaps even in Qt 5.0? It really seems to be a change as simple as changing:

class Q_QUICK_PRIVATE_EXPORT QQuickFlickable : public QQuickItem
to
class Q_QUICK_PRIVATE_EXPORT QQuickFlickable : public QQuickMouseArea

and adding an include for the QQuickMouseArea in the QQuickFlickable header.

Cheers,
Mark
