Was useful during testing when I wanted to get a better feel of what was
being sent, something like:
red_channel_message(channel, "%s", red_channel_client_get_pipe_item_name(..));
But this was indeed just a debugging thing, and I agree it's quite
invasive for a debug feature ;)
Would it be more acceptable with no RedChannelClass changes, and instead
have a
void red_channel_debug_register_pipe_item_type(GType red_channel_type, GType 
pipe_item_type);
(this would populate a hash table which would be used instead of
the new RedChannelClass member).
This would mean just one added call in each class_init(), the rest of
the code could be moved to a separate file, and even disabled by default
as it might be a bit expensive.

But I can keep that on the side for now, and push it again when it
becomes a must-have ;)
