I think that for the initial time we can live without generic QObject. I really think that we need support from the core Nim dev (a "super" statement is necessary IMHO in a language with OOP). You've done a great work there.

For the QtType renamed i think that QtObject fits better, my hey it's just my own opinion :)

For the documentation i started a new feature branch on my repo. I need also to write some roadmap documentation.
