    maybe it makes sense to have a (member) flag for this, then you don't have to .byteArray() the IndexedString for every declaration -- it's expensive

> This patch adds a special-case for "parent" in ExpressionVisitor. Even if every QML object has a "parent" property of type QQuickItem, the user most of the time wants to refer to the enclosing QML component when he/she types "parent". If there is no enclosing QML component (the current component is a top-level one or something else happened), then ExpressionVisitor falls back to the old behavior and returns a QQuickItem instance.

Is it possible, given a DUContext, to find its language? (or is there a way for the QML/JS plugin to store in the DUContext that the file is a Javascript one or a QML one?)
