Hi,
it'd be nice if gobject-introspection would support accessibility attributes for fields, methods, properties and everything else where it makes sense.

For example things like g_object_class_install_property() should really be protected, padding fields of instance/class structs should be private, GObject's refcount/qdata fields should be private, ....

In some cases (for the struct fields) there are comments above the fields like in the case of GObject:
struct _GObject {
  GTypeInstance  g_type_instance;

  /*< private >*/
  volatile guint ref_count;
  GData         *qdata;
};

By default gobject-introspection should assume public accessibility, this should be possible to override somehow and it should parse /* < private > */ comments.


Having this in the introspection data is very useful for languages that know these concepts and to hide private fields.
