No, there is no question that we should create own marshallers *now*
and not sometime in the future.
Sorry if I was unclear.

The question is just how do we create them.
- generate them with glib-genmarshal
- generate them with vala
- write them by hand
- something else :)

Let's see what Nick experiences with Vala and then continue
discussing.
