Well, there's nothing else in this namespace (i.e., amongst use-flags) |
| 8 |
which uses this word, and I don't see anything else that would want to |
| 9 |
use it in-tree. So, I don't see what the problem is with us taking |
| 10 |
over it :) |

As for confusions w.r.t. name, the use-flag descriptions exist |
| 13 |
precisely to clarify that. I personally wouldn't assume a use-flag's |
| 14 |
intention before seeing it's corresponding description. |

Also note that perl/ruby/python/java/javascript etc bindings will |
| 17 |
be/are using gobject-introspection[1], so this particular usage of the |
| 18 |
term will become very prevalent in the near future. |
