Hi,
it would be nice if we could get GST_DEFINE_{BOXED,POINTER}_TYPE and
GST_DEFINE_QUARK macros until bug #449565 is finally resolved, then deprecate
them and map to the glib ones.

Use case for this are the million instances of manual implementations of those
functions. We could take the implementation from that bug and simply use our
GST_ namespace.

What do you think?
