/**
 * SECTION:gstchildproxy
 * @short_description: Interface for multi child elements.
 * @see_also: #GstBin
 *
 * This interface abstracts handling of property sets for child elements.
 * Imagine elements such as mixers or polyphonic generators. They all have
 * multiple #GstPad or some kind of voice objects. The element acts as a
 * parent for those child objects. Each child has the same properties.
 *
 * By implementing this interface the child properties can be accessed from the
 * parent element by using gst_child_proxy_get() and gst_child_proxy_set().
 *
 * Property names are written as "child-name::property-name". The whole naming
 * scheme is recursive. Thus "child1::child2::property" is valid too, if
 * "child1" also implements the #GstChildProxy interface.
