So,
Do we have a conclusion on this proposal?

I don't understand why the GType appears in the function call for
g_iter_next(). As I understand it, a GIter will always be used to

I'd like to point to my comment on that page: Please make the Iterator
interface derive from the Iterable interface, where the iterator(

I meant "who are not true black art masters and ..." of course.

Hi,
Here are some alternate ideas, just brainstorming:
1) have an iterator concept in gobject-introspection and map from
GList etc. in g-i. So g-i would allow you to invoke a method that
returns a list, and get an iterator back.
If I were doing this in gobject-introspection I'd tend to make the

Hi there,
I would like to propose this API to go into glib/gio:
http://live.gnome.org/IteratorsAPI
A working implementation of it can be found here (just replace Gee.List
with GLib.Seq, as that is the name that we have for it in mind):
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libgee/trunk/gee/
