Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
< and > are composed with shift + something else on many keyboards
layouts, so don't work well when injecting them via windowing systems
which will send them as shift key press and separate other key, and
we the don't combine that to < or > properly. n/b are easier.
When g_option_context_parse fails, context and error variables are not getting free'd
which results in memory leaks. Free'ing the same.
And replacing g_error_free with g_clear_error, which checks if the error being passed
is not NULL and sets the variable to NULL on free'ing.

In case discover_uri returns NULL info, passing the info to discoverer APIs
result in critical assertion errors. Hence instead of passing NULL info along,
print the error and return.

When running gst-play against a directory name, and suffix the path with a
directory separator (e.g. tab completion), gst-play was printing two directory
separators in a row. g_build_filename fixes this, and additionally allows for
both '/' and '\' as separators on Windows.
In case of very short files we might end up seeking in
steps of a fraction of a second, which is silly and gives
the impression that seeking doesn't actually work. Make
minimum seek step a second instead.
For positive seeking segment.stop value will be -1,
when we change rate to -1, then the stop value will be udpated
with the current position. And then again if we change rate to 1,
the segment.stop value does not get updated and remains as position
where we last changed rate to -1. Hence playback stops at that point.
In case of positive rates, call gst_element_new_seek with correct values

Printing 64 whitespaces to erase the "Paused" message (after \r) would make
it wrap to the next line on shorter terminals. Instead we only print the
amount of spaces needed. Also mark the "Paused" string for translation
while we're at it.
Use smaller steps for lower rates to allow more
fine-grained control. Handle jump across 0 properly
from both sides (just flip direction where we would
have gone down to 0 instead). Don't artificially
limit rates to +/- 10x. Print new rate.
