And I will answer myself after re-examining the docs. One has to use
`base.concat()` when appending inherited properties. I think I even understand
why that is not default - it would not be possible to override the property
entirely otherwise.

Předmět: [Qbs] Property from parent overridden instead of concat
I remember seeing something about this but I wanted to know if this is a WAD or
bug. Consider:
//imports/MyProduct.qbs
Product {
Depends { name: "cpp" }
cpp.defines: ["MY_DEF"]
}
//SomeProject.qbs
MyProduct {
cpp.defines: ["ANOTHER_DEF"]
}
What will be the value of `cpp.defines`? To me quite unexpectedly only
"ANOTHER_DEF". In order to have both values I would need to do this:
MyProduct {
Properties {
condition: true
cpp.defines: [String(outer), "ANOTHER_DEF"]
}
}
That is pretty weird to me. First of all the fact that unlike elsewhere (e.g. from a
Module) inherited properties are overriden. But even more the fact that "outer"
is neither list/array nor string. It needs to be explicitely converted to String to
satisfy some kind of condition that forces all cpp.defines to be of type String even if
they are actually convertible to it.
Is there a better way doing this? Or is it a bug/inconsistency that will be
addressed? I am using Qbs 1.12.0.
Thank!
