           Summary: TpContact: add API to know if a contact is channel
                    specific
    Classification: Unclassified

We don't have any API to easily know if a TpContact is channel specific or not.

What about adding something like:

/**
 * tp_contact_is_channel_specific:
 * @self: a #TpContact
 *
 * Returns: (transfer none): a #TpChannel if @self is specific to this channel,
 * %NULL otherwise
 */


I'm not fan of having a  _is_ method returning a non gboolean, but the
TpChannel is useful to get the owner if we want to (using
tp_channel_group_get_contact_owner()).

Also, the documentation of this method would be a bit weird as it will rely on
TP_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CONTACTS being prepared on the *channel*...
