OK. I do think it would be a useful thing to have.

As far as Vala-centric bindings go, is it preferable in this sort of 
situation to pass raw pointers back to the application, or else 
duplicate the array and pass back a true Vala array? Raw pointers does 
have the advantage of perfomance, but if I wanted to write in C I 
wouldn't be using Vala...
