So would Vala then make use of GIR for GObject-based libraries and
VAPI for the others? It would be nice if everything (i.e. cairo,
libxml2, ...) could be expressed in GIR. Perhaps all that is necessary
is a means for specifying the copy and free functions for ordinary
structures.
GIR is an extensible format, so it should be possible to express all
bindings in that format. However, as GIR is an XML format, it's not that
comfortable for handwritten bindings. We don't intend to deprecate VAPI
bindings.
