[PATCH wayland 0/6] Add wl_object based custom dispatchers support

[Scott Moreau]

Hi Jason,

I appreciate your work here. These patches can potentially lower the
entry barrier to writing other language bindings. Unfortunately, I
don't not feel that this is something suitable for gh next. It adds a
dependency on a mesa patch, which makes it more difficult to build the
next stack, without many immediate benefits. I wanted to make it clear
upfront to avoid wasted effort. I am glad that we were able to get
many of the bugs worked out before it is reviewed, it is nice to see
the community working together here.

- Scott
