Re: [Vala] embedding c code snippet in vala source.

[Sam Liddicott <sam liddicott com>]

Surely it's OK for VAPI files whose purpose is to integrate with C anyway; and certainly preferable to having 
to ship an extra vapi .h file with inline function or macro definitions...

I think its great.

I prefer the name cexpression to snippet, I use such things in my compac class virtual method enhancement, 
the expression use used by vala to locate the virtual method table for acompact class or object.

no, please: let's not turn Vala into the new GOB. this makes the code an
unbearable mess - been there, done that.
