What if the macro only creates the header content (as its name already 
suggests)?

name::create() could then be implemented in a plugin specific way, not 
requiring a certain constructor pattern or specifying of "baseclass".

It would also allow to just pass parent, not also parentWidget. A plugin that 
creates a widget can qobject_cast parent to QWidget.
