Heh, yeah maybe my idea of gobject'ized glib data structs is a little
futile :) not sure just exactly what I'd do with a derivable GList,
I'm sure something random could come of it haha, maybe
GQueues/GAsyncQueues could be extended glists etc - I guess in the end
that sort of thing would just be libfancyobjects :)

Might be an interesting thing from a bindings point of view... I dunno
