I think we should not do this by modifying the existing API -- it will require
changes in all API users. We should add new functions instead so the users can
move to the new API when they wish to do so. I think the original Libosso API
is ugly, so I started to write a new one, the 'muali API', but it seems there
is not much interest for a libdbus wrapper. Also, it would be cleaner to remove
the muali API as its own library. The muali API is not frozen in any way, so it
still can be changed freely.

Maybe you could modify the muali API to fit your needs and then we could split
it from Libosso to begin its own life as a libdbus wrapper library. My design
principle has been that it has 'API for dummies' that is very simple to use for
applications that just want to send a simple message or receive a simple
signal, and then it has API that allows to harness the full power of libdbus.
It also should be independent from libdbus, in case a different D-Bus client
library is used in the future (or no library at all).
