This tell GI if this function is for actions (call) or is the
answer of this method being asynchronous (async). In this case
it's a call. This also silence warning from the GI scanner.
Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

Boxed types can't be derived from, and we don't support
deriving from our special fundamental types (the code
checks for GType equality in most places.
When appending/prepending tags, avoid re-creating (and copying) lists if we already
have one and instead just append/prepend the GValue to the list.

Facilitate GstBuffer -> GstSample transition for some tags,
could be hard to catch otherwise when creating tags, since
it'll only be apparent later when someone tries to read the
tags.
This specifies if a given taglist applies to the complete
medium or only this specific stream. By default a taglist
has a stream scope.
Fixes bug #677619.
Move the locking methods from GstMemory to GstMiniObject.
Add a miniobject flag to enable LOCKABLE objects. LOCKABLE objects can
use the lock/unlock API to control the access to the object.
Add a minobject flag that allows you to lock an object in readonly mode.
Modify the _is_writable() method to check the shared counter for LOCKABLE
objects. This allows us to control writability separately from the refcount for
LOCKABLE objects.
So mini objects don't have to poke into the GstMiniObject part
of the structure. Saves lines of code, and seems slightly cleaner.
We don't have proper OO hierarchies or methods here after all.
These changes are to clean up syntax issues such as missing colons,
missing spaces, etc., and minor issues such as argument names in
headers not matching the implementation and/or documentation.
The size field is used by subclasses to store the total allocated size of the
memory for this miniobject. Because miniobject doesn't really do anything with
this field we can move it to the subclasses.
Which we had to add because GLib didn't have it
back in the day. Port everything to plain old
G_TYPE_DATE, which is also a boxed type. Ideally
we'd just use GDateTime for everything, but it
doesn't support not setting some of the fields
unfortuntely (which would be very useful for
tag handling in general, if we could express
2012-01 for example).
