org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async GLib specific ?

[frederic heem]

Regarding sharing the xml interface file, for the same method, it's valid to 
have a non-blocking method for the client, and a blocking method for the 
server, so at the moment, there is no way share this file because of this 
issue, 2 files are need, one for client and one for the server.
Worst, because of specific ways to set the asynchronous property for a method 
(org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async), we will end up having one xml file for 
each binding: myInterfaceClientGlib.xml,myInterfaceServerGlib.xml, 
myInterfaceClientQt.xml,myInterfaceServerQt.xml ....
Duplicating files must be avoided for the sake of maintenance.
Let's add 2 optional attributes for the method element: blockingClient and 
blockingServer, default value shall be set to false for backward 
compatibility.
Example
<method name="start" blockingClient="false" blockingServer="true">
</method>
With these 2 attributes, only one xml interface file is needed, it can used 
either for the client or the server, and with whatever language binding.
What do you think of this idea ?
