I'm trying to find sponsors for this in e_dbus as well. As in glib, it
should be doable with a codegen, but in elev8 it needs nothing.

See above. With ObjectManager (not all services are using it YET) and
DBus introspection we could easily generate C code to get the
properties and notify of signals. If you read e_bluez and e_connman
they are basically copy & paste of each others and should be the best
users of e_dbus nowadays... (except some possible copy & paste bugs).
It is VERY boring to keep in sync with upstream api.
