           Summary: TpContact: being able to ask for extra TpConnection
                    features
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-glib
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: guillaume.desmottes at collabora.co.uk
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


The TpConnection returned by tp_contact_get_connection() doesn't have any
feature guaranteed to be prepared. I'd like to have API when requesting
TpContacts saying "please prepare these features on the TpConnection". So the
rest of Empathy wouldn't have to care doing extra async calls later, then can
just use the objects when it's needed. (For example they could use the
TpCapabilities object of the connection to check RCC).

Once TpContact (and/or TpConnection) will have gained an account property (bug
#29417) it could be useful to have the same kind of things for the TpAccount
features.

Maybe that's something we should keep in mind if when redesigning the contact
request API to make it more binding friendly (bug #27687).
