/* FIXME 0.11: Current way of doing the copy makes it impossible
* to currectly chain to the parent classes and do a copy in a
* subclass without knowing all internals of the parent classes.
*
* For 0.11 we should do something like the following:
* - The GstMiniObjectClass::copy() implementation of GstMiniObject
* should call g_type_create_instance() with the type of the source
* object.
* - All GstMiniObjectClass::copy() implementations should as first
* thing chain up to the parent class and then do whatever they need
* to do to copy their type specific data. Note that this way the
* instance_init() functions are called!
