[RFC] API addition for GSequence

[Rob Taylor <rob taylor codethink co uk>]

Hi all,

I'd be interested in hearing some opinions on the patch I logged in 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548666

It adds the functions g_sequence_find and g_sequence_find_iter. These 
allow you to search for a given data in the sequence, returning NULL if 
that data isn't there.

The currently available g_sequence_search does not give you any way of 
telling if a given data is already in the sequence, it only lets you see 
where the data would be inserted.

A user could iterate the sequence like its a list, but as its a 
balanceed btree undreneath it should expose this functionality in some way.

I'm not so sure about the naming of the API, but I'd hope we could get 
something equivalent in for the next release.

Thanks,
Rob
