It's skipped because we have no way to introspect the contents. It's one of
those functions that would be nicer as a GVariant version (e.g.
GVariant<a(a{sv}as)>).

Again IMO it would be better to start offering alternative API with
GHashTable<utf8,GVariant> or GVariant<a{sv}> then exposing all of this C
convenience API into the bindings.

Both of these are probably less of an issue in Vala... thoughts?
