What dust-corners of the API exist that language bindings could shine a
light on?

Macros vs. functions is one such corner, I think. Macros are faster for
C programming, which is important. However, functions are easier to
wrap. I was just saying, if you are concerned with increasing
wrappability (I just made a new word), these should prolly be added.

Thoughts? Esp. from Dave (Lehn) and Murray. I can always keep these
functions in gst-guile, but if they are also wrapped manually in your
languages it might make sense to make functions for the core.
