----------
- Document the format better
- Add attributes to connect signals to their default handlers
and wrappers to their vfuncs
- Add a way to specify default values
- Add a way to mark init functions like gtk_init
- For argument/return values etc, store only c:identifier in the
<class/> definition. Requires a link to the references type in the
Type node.
- replace gidl/gdk-pixbuf.gidl with something generated from headers,
verify all information is available, possible to write
Binary format
-------------
- Sort arrays so that we can use bsearch for lookup
- Maybe add hashes to lookup interfaces and functions in interfaces
- Add default values
- Make annotations more flexible (and typed)
Compiler
--------
- Cleanup, maybe turn the nodes in to objects to avoid the horrific
type switches
- Add thorough error checking
Repository
----------
- Reconsider the current clunky API, maybe an iterator approach is better
- Add thorough error checking
- Use hashes
- Maybe allow populating repositories at runtime
- Think about a system-wide repository mapping namespace ids to
libraries/metadata files
- Fix extra indirection for out parameters in invoke
Scanner
------
- Property.readable/writable, GLibProperty.blurb/nick
- Constants
- Annotations in external files which is not source code
C API
-------
- type SYMBOL is kind of inconvenient; would be nicer to go straight to
boxed, etc.
- no way to construct a boxed type
- no way to access struct fields (should have a way to go field -> GArgument)
- types namespaced GI, functions namespaced g_
- no way to get GType given a GIRegisteredTypeInfo
