+Summary: gst_[typename]_get_type() functions missing for boxed types
+
+To support for easy creation of language bindings, things in gstreamer
+should be "GTK+-like". E.g. for the c++ language bindings we are using a
+semi-automatic wrapper tool from gtkmm (gtkmmproc).
+
+This tool makes assumptions about the GType API of the wrapped structures.
+The problem is that all gstreamer boxed types are currently missing the
+function gst_[typename]_get_type(). E.g. there is no gst_caps_get_type() or
+gst_props_get_type().
+Instead, there are macros to access the GType objects which we can't use
+without changing gtkmmproc. To match GTK+'s boxed-type-API I suggest adding
+the functions gst_caps_get_type(), gst_props_get_type(), etc.
+
+Patches adding these functions will be attached gradually.
