    Not sure if you have a wishlish for 3.0 and if it's still open...
    
    There are several function where it would be *really* helpful if they could pass extra error information, 
in particular the stream-related ones where fs errors can occur.  Example: for 
g_mime_stream_file_new_for_path(), it would be nice if it was
    
    GMimeStream *
    g_mime_stream_file_new_for_path (const char *path,
                                      const char *mode,
                                 GError **error);       // <------ !!
    
    like most other GLib functions (I today spent some time before I noticed the file I wanted to read with 
this function had bad permissions - the NULL response was not /that/ helpful!).
    
    Yes, this would change the API.  But the API changes anyway I guess, and there is a trivial upgrade path 
(just use NULL as error location) for existing applications.
    
    Thoughts?
