Is a repository a single shared library or a complete view of all
available types in the system?
If not it could be reasonable to be able to query for all classes that
implements a
specific interface.
* Query for all GtkWidgets (Glade etc)
* Query for all gstreamer objects impl. interface xyz
* Nautilus extensions
* etc etc
