Re: glibmm: Creating a DBus namespace?

[Milosz Derezynski <internalerror gmail com>]

The "namespacing" in the C layer is very confusing. First, GDBus is part of GIO, but types are named GDBus*, not GioDBus*.

Then there are the "methods", which are named g_dbus_*, which would much rather suggest being a part of Glib itself, rather than GIO, but so is everything else in GIO (GFile*, g_file_*). 

It's not easy for me to come to an inner consensus here but since there is already a Gio namespace in glibmm and even a Gio::DBus one, I'd prefer to see these classes move into Gio::DBus::*, but definitely not into GDBus::*.

Sounds like a very good idea, promotes OOP-style coding.
