Just as a nitpick, these two names look very similar and quite confusing
for non-native English speakers. Maybe you could come up with something
different, especially in place of 'callee'?
Agreed, I'm open to suggestions.
caller/subroutine ?
In GAPI, we have two ownership attributes on list elements: owned and
elements_owned.
or nothing is owned. Yes, we have these 3 in gtkmm too. Johan's system
offers a fourth combination, list-not-owned, element-owned, so-far not
seen in the wild), but it seems fine.
True, but most importantly: it supports lists of lists.
