/**
 * SECTION:gstchildproxy
 * @short_description: Interface for multi child elements.
 * @see_also: #GstBin
 *
 * This interface abstracts handling of property sets for elements with
 * children. Imagine elements such as mixers or polyphonic generators. They all
 * have multiple #GstPad or some kind of voice objects. Another use case are
 * container elements like #GstBin.
 * The element implementing the interface acts as a parent for those child
 * objects.
 *
 * By implementing this interface the child properties can be accessed from the
 * parent element by using gst_child_proxy_get() and gst_child_proxy_set().
 *
 * Property names are written as "child-name::property-name". The whole naming
 * scheme is recursive. Thus "child1::child2::property" is valid too, if
 * "child1" and "child2" implement the #GstChildProxy interface.
 */
/* FIXME-0.11:
 * it would be nice to make gst_child_proxy_get_child_by_name virtual too and
 * use GObject instead of GstObject. We could eventually provide the current
 * implementation as a default if children are GstObjects.
 * This change would allow to propose the interface for inclusion with
 * glib/gobject. IMHO this is useful for GtkContainer and compound widgets too.
