That's possible, and could probably even be done without the artificial
limitation using GPrivate or GStaticPrivate or so), but I think I'd still
prefer dedicated API for this, for at least two reasons:
- dedicated API (macros) makes this much more
discoverable than GST_PTR_FORMAT or
GST_DEBUG_FORMAT_CAPS(). A counter-argument
to this would be the fact that many newbies just
do GST_LOG("%s", gst_caps_to_string (caps)), so
offering something along those lines, maybe a
gst_caps_to_static_string() could be seen as
more intuitive.
- we log a lot of caps. This is really frequently
used. It would be nice to have nice API for that,
so the code looks nice. IMHO GST_FORMAT_TIME /
GST_TIME_ARGS() often make things quite ugly,
would be nice to avoid adding more of those.

Not really, still not sure about the right API yet I think.
