Hi,

these are missing from the API indeed. Another thing missing is a
callback to notify about new clients, so that you could properly
initialize your wl_client user data.

I believe the reason they are missing is just oversight. I cannot think
of a reason why having user data for wl_client would be a bad thing.
OTOH, there obviously are use cases for it.


Thanks,
