Ahem.  Going offtopic a bit, but we have an implementation of this in
the DBus GLib bindings actually:

http://cvs.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/glib/dbus-gtype-specialized.h?view=log
http://cvs.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/glib/dbus-gtype-specialized.c?view=log

There was discussion on gtk-devel-list about it, I don't think there
were any fundamental objections.  I just need to find the time to
adddress the concerns raised and create a patch.
