mostly this, but is important this style would be used only when the proper 
matching qstyle is used, and fallback to QtQuickControlsDesktop when 
applications use a differnet one.

nope, other plasma themes need to continue to work.

one thing that may be done, the theme may ship also qml files in the future as 
a (partial with fallback to a default one) qtcontrols theme

In both cases, it should never go in the way of the user using themes 
different from the default.
