Thanks for the patch.

I think this is a duplicate of bug #578933 for all practical purposes, even if
the proposed solution is a bit different.

I don't think a property like this is a good idea, it has lots of problems,
such as not being able to restrict which elements to apply it to, properties
with the same name but different types on different elements, things like that.
Also, the GstChildProxy interface would probably be a better fit for this in
general.

Lastly, even if a property-based approach was suitable here, the name is not
ideal IMHO ("smart" doesn't really mean anything, it doesn't tell anyone
anything in addition to -properties) (but that's not so important, just
mentioning it while we're at it :))
