Re: [Vala] Commit that breaks MarkupParseContext

[Sandino Flores Moreno <tigrux gmail com>]

The next URL has the testcase:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=152347

It demonstrates that using methods as callbacks
with MarkupParser is possible without introducing
strange parameters neither restricting the methods to be static.

It's the same parser I had written in Genie, just simplified and
translated to vala.
