See... I don't think it would be *that* difficult now that we've got
Qt3D available.

One really nice thing we'd gain is that (with very recent qt versions)
you can use qpainter to create materials for the 3d surfaces. This
should mean we could re-use existing symbology between 2d and 3d
views. And *hopefully* tileable styles like line pattern fills/marker
fills/etc would work fine.

My wishlist:
- multi 3d views inside the main canvas window
- embed a 3d view inside a composer
