Yes of course, having a single token for opening and closing doesn't lend
itself very well to recursion :)

A solution would be to use <video/x-raw, format=blabla> but that introduces a
new set of reserved tokens.

My favorite solution, but I'm not sure it could be merged, would be to go from
a C-type cast syntax to a functionnal cast syntax for the type of the field,
like so:

instead of having (GstCaps) video/x-raw, format=blabla ,

you would have GstCaps(video/x-raw, format=blabla).

Would be super nice but not sure we could change the syntax like that :)

Anyway we worked around it so that's not critical to us, would just be nice if
it could be done :)
