FYI: Qt 5.9 has a "shared memory image provider"

Hi,

This might be of interest for the IconItem and Frame stuf.
I couldn't find this in the Qt 5.9 documentation, but it most
certainly does exist [1]

I wonder how many more "shared" options the QML Image{} component is
going to add though. The current documentation already states:
(5.8 docs) "Images are cached and shared internally, so if several
Image items have the same source, only one copy of the image will be
loaded." and there is the "cache" property. And now there is the
"shared memory image provider"...

Anyhow, see the commit [1] for details.

Best regards,
Mark
