If the client knows the GType of the list, then with a suitable API like
the one I proposed it can determine the element GType.

Well, you don't need the list to actually store GValues, but you do need
a GValue-ified interface to the list.  I started on that in my patch
with an API to iterate over a collection or map, with their values
marshalled to GValues.
