I might be totally wrong, but occasionally I've considered using object_set_properties_from_qdict() internally as much more compact form compared to 'object_new()/set_this_property and set that one too' noodle.

Clear signal our C interface to QOM object configuration is lacking. Going through a QDict is disgusting, though. There has to be a more direct way. One that doesn't involve building temporary trees just so we can use existing visitors. What if we could pass the entire configuration as a struct? Instead of setting properties one by one, pass a struct literal and be done.
