	Of course.

	Well - clearly having 'DBusStruct' is a total waste of time :-) For C /
glib we'd want to de-marshal in a sensible way into a plain C struct by
walking the C ABI; I have a plan to make this work really well.

	For other languages, I imagine you need to write custom / generic
de-marshallers.
