There are no explicit methods to serialize and deserialize the metadata. Since
-each type has a GType, we can reuse the Gobject transform functions for this.
+each type has a GType, we can reuse the GValue transform functions for this.
The purpose of the separate MetaInfo is to not have to carry the free/init functions in
each buffer instance but to define them globally. We still want quick access to the info
When buffer should be sent over the wire or be serialized in GDP, we need a way
to perform custom serialization and deserialization on the metadata.
-for this we can use the GType transform functions.
