That was after adding the full functionality, which meant adapting the code 
that used it to support an extra D-Bus type. There are code generators to deal 
with, XML parsing, unit tests,etc.

It's NOT trivial.

I'm not saying it's beyond your capabilities. I actually hope you can achieve 
all you're setting out to do. I am however saying that reusing the 'h' type 
and piggy-backing on the full support that is already there should be a 
simpler review.
