ORBit imodule question

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

As some of you may know, I have been working on new Python bindings for 
ORBit2.  These take advantage of the new typelibs features in ORBit2.  I 
found a small problem in the ordering of the types returned from the 
typelib that I consider a bug, but others may not.

The details on the bug can be found here:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95591

The question is what order the types should be listed in the imodule for 
the following construct:

       union EnumUnion switch (enum Colour { red, green, blue }) {
       case red: long x;
       case blue: boolean y;
       };

Currently, the enumeration gets listed first, followed by the union.  I 
think they should be listed the other way round because the union 
contains the enumeration.  My binding automatically generates the stubs 
from the information in the typelib, and gets a bit confused when a 
child gets registered before its parent.

Would such a change break anyone's code?

James.
