[SailfishDevel] Haptic feedback for silica components, or lack thereof.

Hello, everybody,

I have spent the afternoon playing with my calculator application.
Using it, I realised it needs some feedback to the user, since
pressing the keys obscure them, and the highlighting is mostly lost.

So I checked what is available, and found that QtFeedback is what I needed.

Now the calculator has its feedback, which is ok.

I am using ThemeEffect.PressWeak, which feels right.

However...

I am not sure using a Button together with the effect is right:

it is possible that in the future Buttons will ue haptics feedback on
their own, so my usage would interfere. So I fear this change will not
be acceptable in the Harbour.

Since haptic feedback is already used in the pulley menu, I expect
more silica components will get it in the future, can someone confirm
this?

Should I spin my own custom buttons?

Best regards,
Luciano
