I think gst_child_proxy_lookup() should either be made a GstChildProxy method,
and take a GstChildProxy as first argument, or be renamed. Or both, with a
utility function somewhere that does if IS_CHILD_PROXY else gobject code
fallback.

Reason is that the way it's currently done is weird and breaks stuff for
bindings, you can't do childproxy.lookup('foo') but have to do
childproxy.lookup(childproxy, 'foo').

It should probably be renamed in any case because "lookup" is a bit too generic
a method name really, IMHO.
