Unfortunately the fact that this may be considered a bug in gcc does not change
the fact that including GStreamer's header files makes it useless to specify
the -Wshadow flag due to the massive spam of warnings from gcc. :(

However, I did not know of the requirement from gtk-doc that the variable names
in the definition and the declaration of the functions must match, which of
course increases the amount of work considerably. I cannot really say if it is
worth it, though. I just know that we now have one option less to avoid
potential errors in our code (and yes, I have found bugs with the aid of the
-Wshadow option in the past).
