Also, Qt Quick Controls can't have C++ classes exposed. I would prefer 
that we first make it possible to integrate your own events into the 
Calendar somehow.

During the sprint in Barcelona, I was told that events for the calendar 
in Plasma are stored in an SQL database. How about this:

Calendar doesn't expose any model; any extra data that you want to 
associate with a date is managed by you. In the case of Plasma:

Calendar {
     SqlCalendarModel { id: eventsSqlModel }

     style: CalendarStyle {
         dateDelegate: Rectangle {
             // ...

             Text {
                 text: eventsSqlModel.eventAt(index).eventName
             }
         }
     }
}
