    /* Each style property in StyleKit needs a unique PropertyStorageId that can be used as
     * a key in the map that stores its value. To compute such an ID, we must consider the
     * property’s full nested path, since properties like 'background.color' and
     * 'background.border.color' refer to different values.
     *
     * Because a property may have multiple values depending on the control’s state and
     * subtype, we distinguish between a property’s path ID and its storage ID. The path
     * ID represents the portion of the property path that does not vary during lookups.
     * For example, in the full path:
     *
     *     "button.pressed.indicator.up.background.color"
     *
     * the portion that is invariant is:
     *
     *     "indicator.background.color"
     *
     * The other parts of the path—such as the control type ('button'), the state ('pressed'),
     * and the subtype ('up')—are resolved dynamically by the propagation engine. During lookup,
     * the engine substitutes these components in decreasing order of specificity. For instance:
     *
     * - If the property is not found on 'button', it falls back to 'abstractButton'.
     * - If it is not found in the 'pressed' state, it falls back to 'normal'.
     * - If it is not found in the 'up' subtype, it falls back to 'indicator'.
     *
     * These varying components are prepended in sequence by the propagation engine to form
     * the final PropertyStorageId, which uniquely identifies the stored value in the map.
     *
     * Note that a property path may also include groups known as Options. These are not part
     * of the Path ID or the Storage ID; they are simply flags used by QQStyleKitPropertyResolver
     * to control how a property should be read.
     *
     * In general, the structure of a property path is:
     *
     *     control.options.states.subtype.nested_group_path.property
     *
     * However, for API convenience, subtypes are written inside the delegate they belong to.
     * For example, although the storage path is "spinBox.up.indicator.background.color", the
     * style syntax is "spinBox.indicator.up.background.color". */
