FWIW, the virObject framework as it exists today was just the bare

future to add further concepts, inspired/borrowed from glib (which
is what stimulated my creation of virObject in the first place).
Why not just switch to GObject instead?
I can kinda see the appeal in having our own, stripped
down and simplified version of GObject, but if we're going
to start adding back more features we might as well avoid
reinventing the wheel and take advantage of the existing,
battle-tested implementation.
