--- Comment #1 from Niels de Vos <ndevos at redhat.com> ---
Could you explain a little more about the keys/values that you would like to
pass through xdata? Because there is no type-checking in xdata, it is not a
very useful API for most users. We should aim to bring real functions and
structures to gfapi, not hacky xdata-like approaches.

Also, xdata tends to be a dict_t structure. We can not reasonably expose that
to applications. I will need to become a standard array/list of some kind.
