Discussion
* Enable loading single libraries to speed  up Creator Clang parsing : Will consider / Check box in project to not have it parse the entire tree as a workaound
* Dependency creep (rebuilding too many files): Most likely touched a file that is in bootstrap build causing rebuild of moc, consider building tools separately
* QML API CMake/ Design Studio: Still under Discussion, QML modules, CMake vs .qmlproject, Qt for Python

* CMake Multiconfig issues: Ninja. VSCode/macOS, not supported in Creator
* Distributed builds (Fast build) upstream rejected, out of scope
