YAAY US! US! US! US!

Sorry, I was just at a merit awards ceremony for my students -- I'm big
on positivity right now ;)

Um, I look in gst-guile's gstreamer-support.h and I see functions like:

GList*          gst_element_class_get_pad_templates (GstElementClass *klass);
 
GType           gst_element_factory_get_element_type (GstElementFactory *factory);
guint16         gst_element_factory_get_rank (GstElementFactory *factory);
GList*          gst_element_factory_get_pad_templates (GstElementFactory *factory);
 
GList*          gst_props_get_list (GstProps *props);

These things just deal with gstreamer types, they're not custom
wrappings. Should they (and any others like them) be added to HEAD?
Typically these functions are in the category of "things that you can
access with macros or struct fields but not with functions". Do we want
functions for these? What kinds of dust corners are you thinking about?
